The Super Eagles of Nigeria will take on Libya at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo in their third game of the 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifiers later today (Friday, October 11).

The three-time African champions began their campaign with a remarkable 3-0 win over Benin Republic in their opening game before playing to a goalless draw with Rwanda in their second game.

Interim coach Austin Eguavoen is expected to deploy the same 3-4-3 formation used in the first two qualifiers against Benin Republic and Rwanda.

MyNigeriaSports explores how Eguavoen will set up his team ahead of the crucial encounter against Libya.

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 opt for a back three of William Troost-Ekong, Semi Ajayi, and Calvin Bassey. The trio started against Benin Republic in Uyo and proved quite formidable at the back.

Midfielders

Leicester City's Wilfred Ndidi and Fulham's Alex Iwobi will operate in central midfield, likely flanked by Ola Aina and Bruno Onyemaechi as wing-backs.

Forwards

With Victor Osimhen out due to injury, Bayer Leverkusen's Victor Boniface is expected to lead the attack. The 23-year-old will be flanked by Ballon d'Or nominee Ademola Lookman and AC Milan's Samuel Chukwueze on the wings.

Predicted XI:

Nwabali, Ekong, Ajayi, Bassey; Aina, Ndidi, Iwobi, Onyemaechi; Chukwueze, Boniface, Lookman.

Formation: 3-4-3
