Jose Peseiro’s side defeated the Elephants 1-0 in a group game earlier in the competition.
Omeruo know things will be different this time around even as he expects the Super Eagles to come out victorious.
“We all know how important this game is for our country, for them too (Cote d’Ivoire) it is very important,” Omeruo told reporters after the Super Eagles training session at the Police College, Cocody, Abidjan on Thursday.
“We beat them in the group stage and they will definitely want a revenge this time around. READ ALSO:
