Nigerian journalist Nwosu Chigozi predicts the likely line-up for the AFCON Qualifiers fixture against Sao Tome and Principe. With all invited players available, Chigozi predicts the West Africans could start with a star-studded team.
The likely XI includes Maduka Okoye as goalkeeper, Francis Uzoho as the team’s first choice, Troost Ekong as a centre-back, Jordan Torunarigha as a KAA Gent defender, Bruno Onyemaechi as a left-back, Frank Onyeka as a central midfielder, and Joe Aribo as a central midfielder.
Moses Simon as a right winger will be deployed to add spark to the team frontline. Samuel Chukwueze as a left winger is preferred for his ability to trouble the Sao Tome and Principe backline.

Victor Osimhen as a centre-forward is likely to spearhead the Super Eagles frontline, and Boniface Victor as a centre-forward is tipped to partner Victor Osimhen in the attack.
Chygozi suggests that the Nigeria Super Eagles will start with a star-studded team, with Uzoho as the team’s first choice. The team’s backline ranking is expected to be bolstered by experienced defenders like Troost Ekong and Onyeka.
