Under-fire coach Imama Amapakabo is going for the experience of Taiwo Awoniyi and Orji Okwonkwo as well as the directness and energy of Sunusi Ibrahim for Nigeria to go past Zambia in tonight’s must-win U23 AFCON Group B clash.
The attacking formation also has Orji Okwonkwo on the left wing with Kelechi Nwakali and Ndifreke Effiong supporting the attack from midfield.
Skipper Okechukwu Azubuike will be the screen in front of a four-man defence of fullbacks Sincere Seth and Stephen Bitok and central defender Anthony Izuchukwu and Valentine Ozornwafor.
