The draw was held on Tuesday and former Chelsea forward was in the studio to help out during the draw.

The 3-time African champion was drawn in group A alongside Sierra Leone, Guinea Bissau and the Republic of Sao Tome and Principle.

Kalou made it clear that the Super Eagles of Nigeria will qualify and the second spot is open to the rest of the 3 teams in the group.

" I think it's a good group for the Super Eagles and I think Nigeria is a team that will always qualify.

They will be the favourites of the group while the second spot is open for the other 3 teams," he said.
