Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle has made known his starting lineup for today’s world cup qualifiers game against Lesotho, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Nigeria go in search of not just a win but with a heavy scoreline hence the decision by Chelle to pick a four man attack to lead the assault in today’s game.
A huge score win will keep them in good position in the event that head to head is used as the tie breaker, if they end up level on point with other teams or in the event of the best four teams for the playoff.
We can exclusively reveal that the goal scoring responsibility of the team has been placed on the shoulders of top striker Victor Osimhen, reigning Africa player of the year Ademola Lookman, new Wolves signing Tolu Arokodare and FC Paris high flier Moses Simon.
They will play in a flat 4-4-2 formation as opposed to the diamond formation that Chelle has made his trademark since taking over as coach of the team in January.
Starting XI:
23. NWABALI
2. FREDRICK
4. NDIDI
5. EKONG (C)
7. LOOKMAN
9. OSIMHEN
10. AROKODARE
13. ONYEMAECHI
