Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, has opted for consistency, fielding the same starting lineup for Nigeria’s critical 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Zimbabwe in Uyo, maintaining the team that triumphed over Rwanda.
Victor Osimhen, who scored twice in the previous match, will spearhead the attack, supported by Ademola Lookman, who also delivered a strong performance.
Stanley Nwabali will retain his position as goalkeeper, with the defensive line consisting of Ola Aina, William Troost-Ekong, Calvin Bassey, and Bright Osayi-Samuel.
The midfield partnership of Wilfred Ndidi and Alex Iwobi remains unchanged, while Samuel Chukwueze and Moses Simon will operate on the wings.
The starting eleven is as follows:
- Goalkeeper: Stanley Nwabali
- Defenders: Ola Aina, William Troost-Ekong, Calvin Bassey, Bright Osayi-Samuel
- Midfielders: Wilfred Ndidi, Alex Iwobi
- Forwards: Samuel Chukwueze, Moses Simon, Ademola Lookman, Victor Osimhen
