The reverse fixture is slated for the Moshood Abiola Sports Arena, Abeokuta on Tuesday, 28 October.
Ouzerou accepted the Super Falcons superiority, but believed they can scale through the hurdle.
“We’re going to count on their heart, because if you’re physically and technically inferior, you have to compensate mentally. And for me, mentally, they’re ready. We’re going to rely heavily on that mentality,” he after unveiling his squad.
“There’s no comparison possible physically and technically we know that, we’re not crazy. But mentally, I believe we can make up for those differences.”
