Speaking ahead of Friday’s encounter, Billiat said: “We are out here to give everything for our nation and we pray to God that we come out victorious.

“It’s a very important game. I think this is the most important out of them all. We are in a situation where everything is in our hands. It is something that we can control.

“We are going into this game knowing very well what’s on stake and we know very well that this is the most important game.

“At the same time, we are trying by all means to concentrate. We are trying as much as we can to concentrate and to be calm. We should be at our best on the day.”
