AFCON 2023 Qualifiers: Three Nigerians to watch for against Guinea-Bissau

Nigeria will host Guinea-Bissau at the in-famous M.K.O Abiola Stadium in Abuja in a crucial 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier encounter on Friday.

José Peseiro, announced his 23-man roster ahead to the match against the African Wild Dogs. The Super Eagles need only six points from their remaining four games to seal their ticket to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations and these three players will have to turn up on the day to make this dream come true.

Victor Osimhen: The Napoli striker is quite easily one player who will be the cynosure of all eyes when the Nigeria Super Eagles face Guinea-Bissau.

The Italy-based superstar leads the Serie A scoring chart with 21 goals to to take them to the top of the league and a historic Champions League quarterfinal place.

Osimhen will look to replicate his form in the green and white jersey as fans await to witness his magical form on home soil.

Calvin Bassey: Despite suffering heavy criticism since joining Dutch giants Ajax from Rangers in the summer, Bassey has recently been enjoying brilliant performance.

With his resurgent, Nigerians will be looking to see what the fullback is about and why he seems to have earned the trust of Super Eagles coach, Peseiro.

Alex Iwobi: While Everton are languishing in relegation zone at the moment, Alex Iwobi has had a good season on a personal note.

He has not scored many goals, but he has given the Blues the most assists so far. With a limited option to choose from in the Super Eagles midfield, all eyes will be on Iwobi to drive the attack forward.
