The Super Eagles of Nigeria will take on Benin Republic at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan in what will be their penultimate game of the 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifiers later today (Thursday, November 14).

The three-time African champions need just a point to secure qualification for the next edition of the Nations Cup in 2025.

The encounter will be the third meeting between the two teams in 2024, following their recent games in the World Cup qualifiers in June and the AFCON qualifiers in September.

Ahead of the crucial encounter, MyNigeriaSports looks at how interim Super Eagles coach Augustine Eguavoen will set up his team against Gernot Rohr's men, as highlighted by OwnGoalNigeria.

Goalkeeper

Chippa United's Stanley Nwabali will undoubtedly start between the sticks for the Super Eagles, ahead of Udinese's Maduka Okoye.

Defenders

Eguavoen is likely to go with a back four of William Troost-Ekong and Calvin Bassey at the heart of defense, with Ola Aina and Bruno Onyemaechi as full backs.

Midfielders

Leicester City's Wilfred Ndidi and Fulham's Alex Iwobi will operate in central midfield together with Frank Onyeka.

Forwards

Victor Osimhen is likely to make his first Super Eagles start since the African Cup of Nations and will lead the line with Atalanta's Ademola Lookman and Milan's Samuel Chukwueze.

Probable XI: Nwabali, Troost-Ekong, Calvin Bassey, Ola Aina, Onyemaechi, Ndidi, Iwobi, Onyeka, Chukwueze, Lookman, and Osimhen.

Formation: 4-3-3
