Nigeria trails Argentina on the table with the South Americans having amassed six points while Nigeria needs only a draw to reach the round of 16.
If the Eagles beat Argentina, the African Champions will finish as group winners, but a loss, and an Iran victory over Bosnia could potentially lead to elimination.
Keshi, however, has no intentions of holding back. "I never said I'm playing for a draw," said the Nigeria boss.
"We are ready to come out and play football and that's what we are going to do tomorrow.”
Iran almost escaped with a point against the Albiceleste by sitting deep, but Keshi says he won't be looking to emulate their tactics.
"Every game has its own character. Both teams will play different. I might take one or two things out of their game against Iran.
“But I'm not going to take whatever they did against Argentina because I'm sure tomorrow will be a different style, a different character of the game."
The game will be played at the Arena Beira Rio in Porto Alegre, and kick-off is at 1PM local time (5PM Nigeria time).
