Former Nigerian forward, Jonathan Akpoborie has charged Super Eagles not to take for granted the Walya Antelopes of Ethiopia.
.
Both sides will clash in the decisive 2014 Fifa World Cup African play-offs on Saturday at the UJ Esuene Stadium, Calabar.
.
The Eagles will head into the clash with the first fixture 2-1 win against the East Africans in Addis Ababa in October.
.
Akpoborie said the Ethiopians will be a hard nut to crack when both sides square up for the decisive challenge this weekend given their brilliant performance back home in Ethiopia.
.
"The Super Eagles shouldn't take the Ethiopians for granted as they're capable of causing an upset here in Calabar.
.
"The game in Addis Ababa was a difficult one though we won 2-1 by sheer brilliance of Emmanuel Emenike.
.
"The Ethiopians stood out in that game even though they lost and will be more dangerous when they take to the pitch on Saturday against the Eagles in the reverse fixture.
.
"The Eagles must gird their loins for a tough game as Ethiopians are not finished as far as the race for Brazil 2014 is concerned.
.
"I'm positive the Eagles will grab a decent result that will hand them the World Cup ticket but must work extremely hard to achieve the feat," the former VfL Wolfsburg striker said.
.
The aggregate winners of the encounter will automatically qualify for the quadrennial global football showpiece coming up in the South American state, Brazil next summer.
Super Eagles will definately not take this one lightly cos it would be a great shocker to the nation. No overconfidence we beg them
