Ostersund have a mountain to climb in their bid to reach the last sixteen of the Europa League after failing to score a goal in the first leg and conceding three times against Arsenal.

Nigerian attacker Alhaji Gero jetted into the English capital on Wednesday afternoon and was asked to comment on the chances of the Swedish team causing an upset.

''We are looking forward to the game, it's football anything can happen, we go into the game with confidence and will see what happens after the final whistle,'' said Gero to allnigeriasoccer.com.

On facing his former Nigeria U23 roommate Alex Iwobi in the first leg, Gero said : '' We discussed after the game that it was tough and a bit cold and we will see each other in London next week.''

Ahead of Thursday's meeting at the Emirates against Arsenal, Ostersund have played six away games in European competitions and lost twice against PAOK and Athletic Club.

The Allsvenskan side have never scored more than two goals in an away match.
