Ahead of the second leg of the Brazil 2014 world cup qualification, Kenya will be doing all it can to revive their hopes to qualify for the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil against the Super Eagles of Nigeria in Nairobi, Kenya.

The Super Eagles of Nigeria hosted the Harambee Stars of Kenya in Calabar, a game which ended in a 1-1 draw with Kenya shocking the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

In the second leg of the clash which is taking place in Nairobi, Coach Adel Amrouche says his team is not scared of the Super Eagles of Nigeria and he believes in his team.

The Kenyan team had complained of ill treatment in Nigeria, citing flight delays, terrible training facilities and bad accommodation.

Nigeria arrived in Kenya on Monday and went to a hotel they booked themselves, ignoring the one the Kenyans had arranged for them.

Football Kenya Federation Official Hussein Terry explained that Kenya had made every effort to make the Nigerians journey pleasant.

Nigeria will be without Victor Moses, but have another Chelsea player, defensive midfielder John Obi Mikel, available.

Despite being favourites to qualify for the finals coach Stephen Keshi insisted that the Super Eagles were not under any extra pressure while goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama stated that the match against Kenya in Calabar came as it came and ahead of the second clash the team is hoping that God will help the Super Eagles.

Kenya are currently last in Group F after only earning two points in their three games played and have to win to stand a realistic chance of qualifying for the World Cup.

The Harambee Stars will be missing their captain Dennis Oliech, who is suspended, but will have Celtic midfielder Victor Wanyama standing in as captain.

Nigeria top Group F with five points, the same as second placed Malawi who had an inferior goal difference. Namibia is third with three points and Kenya is bottom with two.
