Super Eagles handler, Stephen Keshi has effected two changes to the team that started in the victory over Congo in Pointe Noire at the weekend for the visit of Bafana Bafana (South Africa) at 6 pm today (Wednesday, November 19) in Uyo, Akwa Ibom (at the new international stadium).
Forwards, Emmanuel Emenike and Ikechukwu Uche are joined by Ahmed Musa in attack, while Raheem Lawal comes in for Hope Akpan in midfield, alongside Mikel Obi and Ogenzi Onazi. In defence, Kenneth Omeruo returns in place of Godfrey Oboabona who misses the clash because of card offences.
Starting team:
Vincent Enyeama; Efe Ambrose, Kenneth Omeruo, Azubuike Egwuekwe, Juwon Oshaniwa; Ogenyi Onazi, Mikel Obi, Raheem Lawal; Ahmed Musa, Emmanuel Emenike, Ikechukwu Uche. Formation: 4-3-3
Nigeria must beat South Africa (who have already qualified as group winners) and hope Congo do not do same in order to qualify for next year Africa Cup of Nations to be hosted by Equatorial Guinea.
