Algeria Coach Georges Leekens has told his team to make the most of the weakest link already identified in the Super Eagles.
The Belgian has told his players to take advantage of the Super Eagles' sloppy defence in Saturday's Russia 2018 World Cup qualifiers in Uyo.
The Algeria Coach charged the likes of Islam Slimani, Rihyad Mahrez and others that Eagles weak link is the defence set-up
"Having studied their matches video tapes, the Nigerian team is very tactical but the only way we can get a result against them is to take our half chances when they come and also put pressure on their defenders. As that's their weakness.
"You must play as a unit and not lose possession.
"Nigeria will use the first few minutes to counter attack, so the defenders need to be very alert and careful too.
"We also need to play very well at the midfield, and try to cut off passes made to Musa, Iwobi, Iheanacho and Moses."
The Super Eagles are presently top of Group B after the victory against Zambia's Chipolopolo in Ndola on match day 1 while Algeria and Cameroon are leveled on a point following the 1-1 result in Algiers.
A defeat for the Algerians in Uyo will make their qualification quest for Russia more difficult.
