Augustine Eguavoen, Super Eagles coach, has made five changes for the much-anticipated second leg clash against Ghana.
In the attack, Victor Osimhen will lead from the centre with Adesina Lookman, who replaced Samuel Chukwueze, and Emmanuel Dennis to support him from both flanks.
Oghenekaro Etebo is expected to take Nantes’ Moses Simon’s place in the middle while Francis Uzoho will maintain his position between the sticks.
Nigeria is billed to face Ghana for the return leg of their 2022 FIFA World Cup playoff at the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja at 6 pm.
