Once again, Victor Osimhen is anticipated to lead the attack, supported by top scorer Ademola Lookman and Simon Moses.

Peseiro is expected to maintain the 3-4-3 formation, with William Troost-Ekong, Semi Ajayi, and Calvin Bassey fortifying the defense in front of goalkeeper Nwabali.

Kick-off is scheduled for 9 PM WAT.
