Ghana legend Abedi Pele Ayew thinks the Black Stars will triumph in their Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final clash against arch-rivals Nigeria.
"We have the men who will stand up and be counted on the day - that's where we have the edge," Ayew told BBC Sport.
Nigeria take on the hosts in Accra on Sunday with history on their side after a decade of dominance in big events.
However, Ayew is not worried: "Nigeria have doubts.
They stumbled against Mali and Ivory Coast and they will again."
Ayew knows all about the pressure surrounding the clash of these two powerhouses of African football.
The three-time African Player of the Year and former captain of Ghana helped his side to an epic victory over the Super Eagles in the semi-finals of the 1992 Nations Cup.
An inspirational performance and goal from the man dubbed 'Pele' led the Black Stars to a 2-1 victory after they had gone behind early in the first half.
