The Nigeria Super Eagles will continue it’s quest for a place in the Prestigious FIFA organised tourney, Qatar 2022 World Cup, when they face the ‘Black Stars’ of Ghana in one of the Africa Qatar 2022 World Cup play-offs slated for March.
To book a place in the ‘Mundial’ the Coach Augustine Eguavoen tutored Super Eagles side would need to secure outright wins in the double leg fixtures.
Following the team decent display in the just concluded AFCON and the availability of Leicester city winger, Ademola Lookman, for the fixture, here is a possible Super Eagles starting XI against the Ghanaian Senior National team side.
1. Francis Uzoho (AC Omonia, Cyprus)
Following favoured Maduka Emilio Okoye shabby display in the AFCON, Cyprus based goalkeeper, Francis Uzoho, who is second in the pecking order stands the chances of manning the sticks when Nigeria Faces Ghana in March.
2. Troost-Ekong (Watford, England)
The Watford Center back who formed a formidable pair with Kenneth Omeruo will possibly get the nod to start when the Eagles squares up against the ‘Black Stars’ of Ghana in March.

The Leganes rock solid defender who was absolutely outstanding in the AFCON arguably has cemented his place in the team and will possibly continue his impressive pair with Troost-Ekong when Nigeria Faces Ghana in March.
4. Ola Aina (Torino, Italy)
The Torino right back who was arguably one of the top performers in the Super Eagles team in the AFCON will possibly retain his place when the Super Eagles faces the ‘Black Stars’ of Ghana in March.

The left back who returned and sent Jamilu Collins back to the bench would definitely and possibly retain his place in the left back position.
