Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr will have to choose between Jamilu Collins and Valentine Ozornwafor as the third and left-sided central defender in a 1-3-4-3 formation he will play against Cape Verde later today.
Otherwise, his starting XI is predictable with Moses Simon and Zaidu Sanusi playing as wing backs and Innocent Bonke and Shehu Abdullahi the holding midfielders.
The strike force will as expected be spearheaded by Napoli star striker Victor Osimhen with captain Ahmed Musa and Henry Onyekuru the wingers.
Kick-off is 5pm in Nigeria.
