Nigeria is still in the race for a spot in the round of 16 of the U20 World Cup. A positive result against Colombia is crucial to achieve this goal.

The Flying Eagles face Colombia this Sunday, October 5 at 11pm GMT in their third matchday of Group F. They currently sit third with 3 points, just one point behind both their opponents and Norway, who each have 4 points.

Here is Nigeria's likely starting eleven against Colombia: Hacrout - Ochoche, Akinyele, Bameyi, Okoro - Ayuma, Daga, Nasiru - Maigana, Arierhi, Suleiman.

Nigeria can qualify through several scenarios. The ideal would be to win against Colombia and hope that Norway does not defeat Saudi Arabia. In that case, they would finish top of Group F.
