The Eagles are set to face Harries Bulunga’s side this Friday in the first leg as they target to reach Russia in 2018.
According to the Swazi Observer, the Rizespor centre back in Turkey admits that the Southern African country is not a big foot- balling nation, but they deserve respect.
“Swaziland are not a big footballing nation, but that does not mean we don’t have to respect them,” said Oboabona.
“They will be looking to beat us and make a name for themselves and that is the reason we must approach the game with caution.
“We can’t afford to miss out on the World Cup after our failure to qualify for the last Africa Cup of Nations.”
The report further revealed that Sunday Oliseh and his team are expected to touch down in Swazi- land on Thursday before the match.
Kick off for the match is 19:00 at Somhlolo Stadi- um with the return leg set for Tuesday, 17 November in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.
