Nigeria will host Zambia in the Russia 2018 FIFA world cup qualifying match on Saturday, and Zambia coach, Wedson Nyirenda, has already claimed that Algeria have complained about the hostility of the Nigerian fans to them, when they played last year in one of the Group B qualifiers.
Nyirenda, who has boasted that the Chipolopolo would storm Uyo to shock the Super Eagles claimed that Algeria are waiting to pay back Nigeria for the hostility they encountered when they visited Uyo last November.
