The Super Eagles are set for their penultimate game in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying series as they battle the Leone Stars of Sierra Leone at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Stadium in Monrovia on Sunday.
Nigeria, three-time African champions, are on the cusp of securing a ticket to next year’s AFCON tournament billed for Cote d’Ivoire and are gunning to complete the mission early enough even before their last qualifying game, in September.
At present, Nigeria occupies the second spot in their qualifying group with nine points from four matches, a point behind Guinea Bissau, who have played five matches.
