With Osimhen, Akole Adams, Ademola Lookman and Alex Iwobi linking up in attack, Nigeria were very dangerous in attack. This Nigerian team has a very good balance and, led by Osimhen and Adams, they can bully their opponents and always look like they are scoring. But the biggest problem is that captain Wilfred Ndidi is absent from the game due to suspension, so Raphael Onedika is likely to start in his place.
