Super Eagles Predicted Lineup to Face Benin Republic in World Cup Qualifier

The Super Eagles of Nigeria will face the Les Guépards of Benin Republic in their World Cup qualifying game tomorrow, Soccernet.ng reports.

The Super Eagles of Nigeria will face off against the Les Guépards of Benin Republic in their World Cup qualifying match on Saturday, with Finidi George set to continue his duties as coach.

Following a 1-1 draw against South Africa last Friday, coach Finidi will be making some tweaks to the team ahead of the encounter. Here's a predicted lineup of the Super Eagles for the match against Benin Republic:

Goalkeeper: Stanley Nwabali is expected to start in goal after putting in another impressive performance in Nigeria's draw against Bafana Bafana.

Defenders: Benjamin Tanimu and Bright Osayi-Samuel played out of position in the match against Hugo Broos' men, which affected their performance. Osayi is expected to return to his right-back position where he feels more comfortable. Benjamin Tanimu and Semi Ajayi will be placed in front of Stanley Nwabali, while Calvin Bassey takes the left-back spot.

Midfielders: The midfield trio of Wilfred Ndidi, Fisayo Ayodele-Bashiru and Alex Iwobi worked against South Africa, except they were without synergy for the early parts of the game. The solidity and familiarity the trio bring should continue against Gernot Rohr's men on Saturday.

Forwards: The combination Ademola Lookman, Paul Onuachu and Kelechi Iheanacho didn't work against South Africa. Victor Boniface's club form should earn him a spot up-front, with Ademola Lookman playing off the left. Samuel Chukwueze was impressive when he came off the bench in Uyo, and if fully fit, should start against Benin Republic
