Coach Jose Peseiro has kept faith with goalkeeper Francis Uzoho even after his clanger against Saudi Arabia and so he will start in goal again for the Super Eagles today against Mozambique.

That means fellow shot stoppers Maduka Okoye, Adeleye Adebayo and Olorunleke Ojo all start from the bench.
Peseiro has named a completely changed starting XI for the match against the Mambas with only Bruno Onyemaechi the only other starter from the Saudi game.
Both Jordan Torunarigha and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru will make their Super Eagles debut, while Terem Moffi will lead the attack in the absence of Victor Osimhen and Kelechi Iheanacho.
The experienced Kenneth Omeruo will be captain.
Eagles Starting XI vs Mozambique (4-4-2)
Uzoho – Osayi-Samuel, Onyemaechi, Torunarigha, Omeruo – Onyeka, Onyedika, Aribo, Dele-Bashiru – Moffi, Moses Simon
