Home-based Super Eagles coach Okey Emordi is confident his side will come out victorious when they file out against Burkina Faso in Sunday's African Nations Championship qualifying clash slated for Calabar.

Emordi has endured a frus-trating experience following the inability of the invited players to assemble in good time but the former Enyimba coach believes he has got a lot of experienced players who can grind out a result for him in the encounter.

"I have players in the team who can crack a few hard nuts and still keep going strong. They've got experience and ability and will help us very much", said Emordi.

The team is staying at the Pyramids Hotel in Calabar ahead of the cracker at the U. J. Esuene Stadium.
