Coach Aliyu Zubairu will be going for goals in this afternoon’s U20 AFCON quarterfinal against defending champions Senegal as he will start to attacking midfielders as well as re-instate highly-rated winger Bidemi Amole.
Israel Ayuma keeps his place in defensive midfield, while match winner against Auwal Ibrahim ‘Germany’ has dropped to the bench for the more experienced Suleyman Alabi to be one of two offensive midfielders.
The other attacking midfielder is Divine Oliseh.
In attack, the inconsistent Amole returns to the Starting XI strike force that also has Kparobo Areirhi and Clinto Jephta.
This was the attack that won the WAFU B U20 championship in Togo last year.
The defence he has played from the opening game against Tunisia remains intact.
Kick-off is 1pm Nigerian time.
Flying Eagles Starting XI (4-3-3)
Harcourt – Okoro, Maigari, Bameyi (captain), Chukwu – Ayuma, Suleyman Alabi, Divine Oliseh – Amole, Kparobo, Jephta
