Mozambique national team head coach, Mart Nooij, is praying fervently for the Super Eagles of Nigeria to qualify for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa as this will make it easier for his charges to qualify for the Nations Cup in Angola.
The Dutch coach said his prayer was for the Eagles to win their next two matches before the last game against Mozambique.
"I'm confident that Nigeria will beat Tunisia and Kenya and qualify for the World Cup," Nooij was quoted as saying in the Nigerian Tribune.
"My only prayer for Nigeria is to beat Tunisia 2-0 and also beat Kenya. That will be a breakthrough for us."
The tactician obviously hopes that the Mambas will get a result against Tunisia and Kenya when they go visiting in Maputo to edge closer to clinching one of the three Africa Cup of Nations tickets.
The Mambas are last in the group and will face Kenya’s Harambee Stars in Maputo on September 5. They are currently preparing for a friendly match against the Ivory Coast on August 12 while Harambee Stars, their main rival for the continental ticket, will be playing Malaysia on the same day to be ready for the crucial qualifiers.
