Kanu will be facing Argentina for the fourth time in his career, and the Portsmouth striker is confident the Super Eagles have what it takes to beat the Albiceleste.
"Argentina have the big-name players and everyone respects them. We also acknowledge that they are good and great players," Kanu told African website Kick Off.
"Argentina also have the same respect for us because they know the quality of our team and know that there is plenty that we can come up with at anytime. Yes, it will be tough but I believe we can overcome on the day. It is the World Cup and things do happen."
Despite the quality Argentina possess, the 33-year-old believes Nigeria will come out on top and that the game will be settled by a single goal.
"You know, it is always very close any time we play them at the top level. It is either 2-1 or 1-0. I expect that on Saturday, it would also be close, but victory will be Nigeria's."
