In defence, Captain William Troost-Ekong leads the cast, supported by Gabriel Osho and Calvin Bassey.

Bruno Onyemeachi, Ola Aina, Wilfred Ndidi and Alex Iwobi would steer affairs in the middle of the park.

The Super Eagles are at the top of Group D, with 10 points, and at least a draw from the game will be enough to get the team a spot at the 2025 AFCON in Morocco.

Super Eagles starting XI: Stanley Nwabali, Ola Aina, William Troost-Ekong, Calvin Bassey, Gabriel Osho, Bruno Onyemaechi, Wilfred Ndidi, Alex Iwobi, Ademola Lookman, Victor Osimhen, Kelechi Iheanacho.
