The Vijana Stars of Tanzania carry a 1-0 first leg advantage over the Nigerian side.
Eguavoen revealed to Saturday Tribunesports yesterday that today's match will mark the first time Nigeria's attention will focus on his team.
''We are that lucky,'' he explains.
''In times past, our matches clashed with other national team engagements and we had to do without some players who had to feature for Nigeria in other categories''
Players in this category are Ekhigho Ehiosun and Ahmed Musa who shuttle between Super Eagles and Dream Team camps.

Eguavoen also stated that this is going to be the first time Nigeria Football Supporters' Club will grace the Dream Team's game.
