Super Eagles XI prediction vs. Rwanda: Lookman and Osimhen will start; Moses Simon and Iwobi probably on the bench

In anticipation of the Super Eagles’ Africa Cup of Nations qualification match against Rwanda, interim coach Augustine Eguavoen is anticipated to make a few significant adjustments to the starting lineup. Here’s a lineup that Soccernet predicts:CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>

Goalkeeper: Stanley Nwabali

Defence: William Troost-Ekong (c), Semi Ajayi, Calvin Bassey

Midfield: Ola Aina, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Frank Onyeka, Bruno Onyemaechi

Attack: Samuel Chukwueze, Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman

Eguavoen is likely to stick with the 3-4-3 formation that worked effectively against Benin Republic, but with some tactical adjustments. Victor Osimhen, who made an immediate impact with a goal off the bench against Benin, is expected to start alongside Ademola Lookman and Samuel Chukwueze in attack.

In midfield, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru may replace Alex Iwobi, who could find himself on the bench alongside Moses Simon. Frank Onyeka is expected to replace Wilfred Ndidi, who requested a substitution during the game against Benin.

The defence is likely to remain solid, with captain William Troost-Ekong marshalling the backline alongside Semi Ajayi and Calvin Bassey.

With this lineup, the Super Eagles will aim to build on their winning momentum and secure another dominant display against Rwanda.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
