AFCON 2015 Qualifiers – Nigeria in Must-Win Clash Against Sudan
Facing mounting pressure in Group A, Nigeria’s Super Eagles head into a critical qualifier against Sudan this Saturday. With just one point from their first two matches, Stephen Keshi’s men are in danger of missing out on the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
A defeat would seriously dent the reigning champions’ hopes of qualification, making this third-round encounter a make-or-break fixture for Nigeria.
🔵 Starting Lineups:
🇸🇩 Sudan:
Mahgoub – El Haj, Gaafar, Rayah, Faris – Shigail, Kamal, El Tahir, Amare, Bakri – Jizoli.
🇳🇬 Nigeria:
Enyeama – Ambrose, Omeruo, Oboabona, Echiejile – Onazi, Nosa Igiebor, Mikel Obi – Musa, Emenike, Salami.
Keshi’s selection signals an aggressive approach with Ahmed Musa, Emmanuel Emenike, and Gbolahan Salami leading the line, while Mikel Obi anchors the midfield alongside Onazi and Igiebor.
Victory is essential if the Super Eagles want to reignite their campaign and defend their continental title next year.
