Coach Jose Pesiero has again kept very close to his chest the tactics he will use to dismantle Guinea Bissau today to win the AFCON Group A that also has host nation Cote d’Ivoire and Equatorial Guinea.
The Super Eagles final training Sunday was mainly small-sided games and attacking drills to again throw off opposing spies.
The open secret though is that he will certainly employ a much more attacking approach than the 3-4-3 formation he used to beat AFCON hosts Cote d’Ivoire last week.
However, he is also the first man to warn that The Wild Dogs of Guinea Bissau will be most dangerous because they have already been eliminated and they will therefore play without any pressure.
Guinea Bissau have been sloppy in defence and now their predicament will be compounded by the Super Eagles, who parade one of the most feared attacks on the continent.
Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, Samuel Chukwueze and Paul Onuachu will only have to be more efficient in front of goal for the Super Eagles to run up the scores against their opponents.
SCORENigeria has gathered that Peseiro will again ring several changes to his starting XI from the one who beat Cote d’Ivoire.
Against the Ivorians, he brought in Calvin Bassey, picked Samuel Chukwueze ahead of Moses Simon and Alhassan Yusuf stayed out due to injury.
There will be at least two major changes in a defence Peseiro has kept faith with from the opening game against Equatorial Guinea.
There will also be some shuffling of players in midfield and attack to boost the Super Eagles fire power as they plan to celebrate their milestone 100th AFCON match in super style.
On-form Kelechi Iheanacho will finally be rewarded with a starting spot after the class he has shown in training in Abidjan.
Not many players can be in his company when he wants to play football.
They’re already calling him a mastermind because of a fluke win against Ivory coast
