Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, is set to stick with his winning formula as Nigeria prepares to take on Zimbabwe in Tuesday’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier in Uyo.
As reported by SCORENigeria, unless injuries or unexpected circumstances arise, Chelle is expected to field the same starting XI that secured a convincing 2-0 victory over Rwanda in Kigali.
Reliable shot-stopper Stanley Nwabali is set to retain his place in goal, with captain William Troost-Ekong, Calvin Bassey, Ola Aina, and Bright Osayi-Samuel forming the defensive line.
In midfield, Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi and Alex Iwobi will once again be entrusted with controlling the game.
Despite struggling to make an impact against Rwanda, Samuel Chukwueze is poised to get another chance, joining wingers Ademola Lookman and Moses Simon in the attack.
Leading the line will be Galatasaray’s prolific striker, Victor Osimhen, who netted both goals in the last match and will be aiming to add to his tally against the Warriors.
