Rohr believes both friendlies are good for his boys no matter the outcome as it would help in properly shaping his side for more aggressive games against Sierra Leone and Benin Republic.


He said: “The friendlies against Algeria and Tunisia will give my players a guide on how to handle the West African teams, who are more aggressive in their style of play.


“We are playing against Sierra Leone in Nigeria next month and I believe my players will be in top form to give the team a good fight. The invited players for the friendlies are in high spirit to give their best in the next game against Tunisia.”
