Super Eagles of Nigeria possible line-up against Sierra Leone

Osimhen and Lookman return to help the Super Eagles get victory against Sierra Leone after 2 losses to Mexico and Ecuador.

After two defeats to the El-Tri of Mexico and Ecuador in the United States of America, the Super Eagles return to play at home.

It will be the first Super Eagles game in Nigeria, since the 1-1 draw against the Black Stars of Ghana at the MKO Abiola which cost the country a place at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

The Super Eagles have a chance to appease the fans but need to start with victory against Sierra Leone.

In the qualification process for the World Cup, the Super Eagles could not defeat Sierra Leone home and away.

New coach Peseiro started off with a back three in the game against Mexico. He showed flexibility returning to a 4-4-2 formation in the loss against Ecuador.

Peseiro is expected to stick with the formation against Ecuador with some personnel changes.

He now has more quality in attack as Napoli striker Osimhen returns to the team after missing the two friendly games.

Defenders – William Troost-Ekong, Ola Aina, Calvin Bassey and Semi Ajayi
