This millennium, Nigeria has played Mali four times at the African Cup of Nations. Two times the Eagles were victorious while the remaining two matches ended in draws. <br /><br />Ahead of tomorrow's meeting between Nigeria and Mali, coach Stephen Keshi knows that the opponents are well motivated and has predicted a difficult match.<br /><br />''Mali is a footballing nation with great talent, I saw it in my two years there. I have a lot of respect for them and a lot of admiration for the Mali team and the players. <br /><br />''What is happening in this country is very sad. You can not be proud of it. I know their players think about the situation at home, from where they derive their power. They say, 'Let's do it for the country' . We'll stop them,'' Keshi told reporters.<br /><br />Kick off for the game at the 54,000 capacity Moses Mabhida Stadium, Durban is 16:00 hours.<br />
