Victor Eletu believes the Flying Eagles can get the better of Italy in their second Group B game at the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Argentina.

The African will file out against the Europeans in Mendoza on Wednesday, with knock–out stage ticket at stake.

Eletu who plies his trade in Italy with Milan is familiar with the young Azurri and warned the Flying Eagles must play as a unit to win the tie.

“It will be a tough game (vs Italy) as three, four of their players have already played for their first-team clubs,” Eletu told NFF TV.

“The only way we can beat them is to play as a team.

“We will give our best to qualify for the next round.”

Italy top Group D with three points having defeated Brazil 3-2 in their opening fixture.
