Former Nigeria midfielder, Mutiu Adepoju says Super Eagles is among the favourites to win the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON based on their squad depth and quality players.
The Eagles are in Egypt to challenge for a fourth African title, but they must first see off Madagascar, Burundi and Guinea in Group-B.
While acknowledging that the Super Eagles will head into the finals in the North African country as contenders for the trophy, Adepoju feels pressurising the team to emerge as champions could serve as an obstacle for the three-time African winners.
He explained that it will be disappointing if the Super Eagles do not make it to the final because every Nigerian wants to see them up there.
