Flying Eagles head coach, Ladan Bosso has warned hosts, Argentina they will be committing a mistake by underrating his side in their Round of 16 contest.
The two teams will battle for a place in the quarter-finals in San Juan on Wednesday night.
Bosso’s side lost their final group game 2-0 to five-time champions, Brazil.
The West Africans dropped from first to third position in Group D following the defeat and only made it to the knockout round as one of the best losers.
Argentina are unbeaten in the competition with three wins from three group games.
The side managed by former Liverpool and Barcelona midfielder, Javier Mascherano are pundits favourites to win the game.
Bosso is however not willing to accept that and insists that his players will put up a good fight.
“This is the World Cup and it is wrong to under-rate any team. We won two of our three matches and had the same number of points in our group as Brazil and Italy. We are no pushovers in this campaign,” he told thenff.con.
“It is going to be an interesting game. We want the quarter-final ticket and the Argentines also want the quarter-final ticket. We will go in there and dig our feet into the ground.”
