Super Eagles head coach Éric Chelle has named Taiwo Awoniyi, Ademola Lookman and Akor Adams in Nigeria’s starting attack for Tuesday’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Guinea-Bissau in Bissau.
Stanley Nwabali starts in goal, with Bright Osayi-Samuel, Semi Ajayi, Calvin Bassey and Bruno Onyemaechi forming the defensive line.
Captain Wilfred Ndidi anchors the midfield alongside Frank Onyeka and Alex Iwobi, while Lookman, Awoniyi and Adams lead the attack as Nigeria seek a second consecutive victory in the qualifying campaign.
NIGERIA’S STARTING XI
Stanley Nwabali; Bright Osayi-Samuel, Semi Ajayi, Calvin Bassey, Bruno Onyemaechi; Wilfred Ndidi, Frank Onyeka, Alex Iwobi; Ademola Lookman, Taiwo Awoniyi, Akor Adams.
Nigeria entered the encounter after beginning their Group L campaign with a 2-1 victory over Madagascar in Uyo on September 25, while Guinea-Bissau also won their opening fixture.
The match is being played at the Estádio Nacional 24 de Setembro in Bissau.
With Tanzania automatically qualified for the 2027 AFCON as one of the tournament hosts, Nigeria and the other teams in Group L are competing for the remaining qualification place.
The Super Eagles will therefore be seeking maximum points against Guinea-Bissau to strengthen their position in the race for qualification.
