Nottingham Forest's Ola Aina and Boavista's Bruno Onyemaechi will operate as wing-backs.
Wilfred Ndidi and Alex Iwobi will control the midfield, while Victor Osimhen will lead the attack, supported by Ademola Lookman and Kelechi Iheanacho.
Nigeria at the Felix Houphet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire only need a point from the game to make it to the Morocco 2025 AFCON.
