Flying Eagles coach Aliyu Zubairu has made only one change from his starting XI for this afternoon’s U20 AFCON semifinal against South Africa.
Young winger Tahir Maigana has been picked ahead of Bidemi Amole to start in a three-man strike force that also has striker Kparobo Arierhi and Clinton Jephta.
Coach Zubairu has otherwise kept faith with the team that stopped defending champions Senegal on penalties to reach the last-four of this competition.
Captain Daniel Bameyi leads the back four of fullbacks Odinaka Okoro and Adamu Maigari as well as fellow central defender Emmanuel Chukwu.
The midfield has Israel Ayuma, Suleyman Alabi and Divine Oliseh.
Oliseh was a major injury doubt for this clash after he suffered a concussion in the quarterfinal, but he has since been cleared to play.
Kick-off today is 4pm Nigerian time.
