The Super Eagles of Nigeria have released their starting lineup to face Guinea-Bissau on Monday (today), seeking at least a draw to advance from  Africa Cup of Nations Group A.

Peseiro is sticking with the same 3-4-3 lineup that he adopted against Cote d’Ivoire in the last match. Guinea-Bissau vs Nigeria live will be played at the Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium.

Stanley Nwabali of Chippa United maintained his starting position in goal following two strong performances against Cote d’Ivoire and Equatorial Guinea.

Ola Aina will move to left wing-back, and Bright Osayi-Samuel, a right-back, will start the competition for the first time.

Calvin Bassey and Semi Ajayi will be paired in central defence by Kenneth Omeruo.

Joe Aribo and Frank Onyeka will play in the middle of the pitch.

Victor Osimhen will spearhead the attack, with Moses Simon and Samuel Chukwueze serving as the two wingers.
