The Nigeria Super Eagles will continue it\u2019s quest for a place in the Prestigious FIFA organised tourney, Qatar 2022 World Cup, when they face the \u2018Black Stars\u2019 of Ghana in one of the Africa Qatar 2022 World Cup play-offs slated for March.<\/p>\n

To book a place in the \u2018Mundial\u2019 the Coach Augustine Eguavoen tutored Super Eagles side would need to secure outright wins in the double leg fixtures.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

1. Francis<\/strong> Uzoho (AC Omonia, Cyprus)<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

2. Troost-Ekong (Watford, England)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

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 \u2018Black Stars\u2019 of Ghana in March.<\/p>\n

3. Kenneth<\/strong> Omeruo (Leganes, Spain)<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

4. Ola Aina<\/strong> (Torino, Italy)<\/h2>\n

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 \u2018Black Stars\u2019 of Ghana in March.<\/p>\n

5. Zaidu<\/strong> Sanusi (FC, Porto, Portugal)<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

6. Ndidi Wilfred (Leicester City, England)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Rock solid defensive midfielder has an \u2018automatic Shirt\u2019 in the Eagles team and would possibly get involved when the Eagles trade tackles with their Ghanaian counterpart.<\/p>\n

7. Joe Aribo (Rangers Glasgow, Scotland)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The highly rated left footed attacking midfielder display in the AFCON won the heart of Nigeria football enthusiasts and stands a big chance to start against Ghana and would only miss starting else not fit or injured.<\/p>\n

8. Moses<\/strong> Simon (Nantes, France)<\/h2>\n

If stays fit, the Nantes Winger has an \u2018Automatic Shirt\u2019 in the team and would be deployed to the right hand channel<\/p>\n

9. Ademola<\/strong> Lookman (Leicester City, England)<\/h2>\n

The Nigeria Super Eagles eligible striker possibly would be favoured to start ahead of Samuel Chukwueze when the Eagles squares up against the\u2019Black Stars\u2019of Ghana.<\/p>\n

10. Kelechi Iheanacho (Leicester City, England)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Iheanacho who was pivotal in the Eagles outing in the AFCON possibly will be handed the supporting striker role when the team host the Ghanaian Senior National team side in March.<\/p>\n

11. Victor<\/strong> Osimhen (Napoli, Italy)<\/h2>\n

The Napoli talisman who missed out the last time in the AFCON has a big chance of starting ahead of Taiwo Awoniyi who led the attack in his absence during the AFCON.<\/p>\n
