Super Eagles head coach Jose Peseiro has opted for his preferred 4-4-2 formation in tonight’s friendly against his native Portugal.



Omonia Nicosia goalkeeper Francis Uzoho will be the man between the sticks.

New boy Bruno Onyemaechi will make his debut as a right-back, while Empoli’s Tyrone Ebuehi will play from the left-back position.

William Troost-Ekong, who will captain the team in the absence of Ahmed Musa and Kevin Akpoguma, will occupy the center-back position.

The midfield will be anchored by the duo of Wilfred Ndidi and Everton's star man, Alex Iwobi.

Ademola Lookman and Moses Simon will operate from the wings.

Lorient of France striker Terem Moffi will lead the attack, supported by Joe Aribo.

The highly anticipated game will kick off at 7:45 pm Nigeria time.
