The Super Eagles of Nigeria are looking to secure all three points after an impressive performance against the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations host, Ivory Coast, Soccernet.ng reports.
Jose Peseiro’s troops are set to take on Guinea-Bissau in their final group-stage clash of the 2023 AFCON at the Félix-Houphouët-Boigny Stadium.
In anticipation of the clash, head coach Jose Peseiro has unveiled the official squad list. As expected, Napoli forward Victor Osimhen leads the frontline, with Kelvin Omeruo making his first appearance of the 34th edition of the AFCON tournament.
Just like they did against Côte d’Ivoire, Frank Onyeka sits—alongside Bright Osayi-Samuel—in the middle of the park, while Ola Aina, and Calvin Bassey play as fullbacks.
