Nigeria XI vs Guinea-Bissau

Goalkeeper: Stanley Nwabali

Defenders: Bright Osayi-Samuel, Semi Ajayi, Calvin Bassey, Bruno Onyemaechi

Midfielders: Wilfred Ndidi, Frank Onyeka, Alex Iwobi

Forwards: Ademola Lookman, Taiwo Awoniyi, Akor Adams

Nigeria and Guinea-Bissau both head into Tuesday’s encounter on the back of victories in their opening-round fixtures.

The meeting in Bissau is particularly important because Tanzania, as one of the co-hosts of AFCON 2027, automatically occupies one of the qualification places, leaving only one ticket available from Group L.

Both sides will therefore be looking to strengthen their position in the group with another positive result. (Vanguard)
