The Malian tactician has retained both the formation and personnel he deployed against the Amavubi in Kigali.

Chippa United goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali will start in goal for the Super Eagles, with a back four of captain William Troost-Ekong, Calvin Bassey, Ola Aina, and Bright Osayi-Samuel.

Wilfred Ndidi and Alex Iwobi will operate in midfield, while the attacking quartet will feature Samuel Chukwueze, Moses Simon, Ademola Lookman, and Victor Osimhen.

A second consecutive win for Super Eagles will boost their points accumulation from six points to nine.

The match will kick off at 5:00 pm at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.
