The Super Eagles of Nigeria will play Sierra Leone on Sunday night in an AFCON qualifier for this year.

In Monrovia, Liberia, at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Stadium, the AFCON qualifier will be held.Super Eagles head coach Jose Peseiro has already named his 23-man squad to take on Sierra Leone.

The roster for Peseiro includes players like Victor Osimhen of Napoli, Alex Iwobi of Everton, Samuel Chukwueze of Villarreal, Taiwo Awoniyi of Nottingham Forest, William Troost-Ekong of Watford, and Ahmed Musa of Sivasspor, among others.

In 2022, Nigeria overcame the Leon Stars, rallying from a goal down to win 2-1.

When they travel to Liberia to face John Keister’s forces, the 2013 AFCON Champions will be expected to act in a similar manner.

Nigeria presently leads Group A with 9 points after 4 games.

Guinea-Bissau is in second place behind the Super Eagles with 9 points after four games, Sierra Leone is in third place with 5 points after four games, and Sao Tome and Principe is at the bottom of the table with 1 point after four games.

Peseiro’s team, who started training again on June 11 in order to get ready for the AFCON, only need a point from the June 18 qualifier against Sierra Leone to guarantee a spot in Cote d’Ivoire in 2023.

Engr. Audu Ojo, the head coach of Dawaki Rangers, responded to a question about his thoughts on the AFCON qualifier between Nigeria and Sierra Leone by saying that Peseiro’s team has the players to carry out the task and clinch a spot in Ivory Coast 2023. On his prediction, Ojo simply said, “2-1 in favour of the Super Eagles.
