Nigeria vs Zimbabwe LIVE!

Nigeria are back in World Cup qualification action this afternoon as they host Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo. The Super Eagles look in resurgent mood under new head coach Eric Chelle after star striker Victor Osimhen returned to fire them to a comfortable 2-0 victory away in Rwanda in his first game in charge on Friday. That was a much-needed victory for the three-time African champions, who had made a disastrous start to qualifying.

They will be strong favourites to make it successive victories and raise hopes of securing a place at next summer’s finals as they face a Zimbabwe team who sit rock bottom of Group C with no wins after Thursday’s 2-2 draw with Benin in Durban and are missing key players such as captain Marvelous Nakamba of Luton. However, Michael Nees’ side showed impressive character to fight back from a two-goal deficit to claim a point after goals from Wolves midfielder Marshall Munetsi and Knowledge Musona.

The Super Eagles have named an unchanged XI from a fully-fit squad after Chelle allayed injury concerns over Osimhen and Bright Osayi-Samuel. Follow Nigeria vs Zimbabwe live below!
