173 views

Three Nigerian players are expected to start their country’s World Cup qualifying match against Zimbabwe, a South African team, on Sunday.

Given that Nigeria lost their match against Lesotho on Match Day One, this game looks to be a must-win.

Super Eagles and Jose Peseiro would be eager to avenge their 1-1 tie with Lesotho last week in this matchup.

With Nigerians calling for the sack of Super Eagles handler Peseiro, the gaffer must get his act right in this one as All News. Nigeria reviews three players that should start against Zimbabwe.

The OGC Nice forward would be a quality addition to Nigeria’s starting line-up on Sunday.

With Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi out injured, the French-based striker Terem Moffi should start the game.

His eye for goals and his trickery on the ball would be a major asset to the team in this match.

Moses Simon

After a disappointing game Ademola Lookman had against Lesotho with many quarters saying the former Leicester City man was selfish going for goal, he should seat out this one.

While Moses Simon should come into the starting line-up.

Simon’s experience at this level comes to mind while he’s got the knack to open up the opposition defence with his immense quality on the ball.

The former Rangers man may have struggled for English side Southampton, but his talent is glaring for only the patient Nigerian fans to see.

His involvement in this game alongside Kelechi Iheanacho could produce the creativity Nigeria desires against Zimbabwe on Sunday.

Just like he and Iheanacho can score goals playing behind the main striker as the case may be.
