Nigeria vs. Sao Tome
The Eagles will hope for a repeat of the reverse fixture which saw Nigeria put 10 goals past the helpless True Parrots in Agadir, Morocco, last year.
Ahead of the encounter which is a dead rubber as Nigeria has already picked one of two tickets while Sao Tome can’t qualify, the visitors will arrive in Nigeria with a unique first.
The Falcons have named an all-foreign-based team for the first time ever as they look to ensure a credible outing against one of Africa’s giants this time.
With what looks like a new-look side, who are the players that can hurt Jose Peseiro’s Super Eagles in Nigeria?
Pulse Sports has picked three players who seem to have the pedigree to cause Nigeria problems. Let’s dig in quickly into their profile.
