Sao Tome and Principe
Twenty-five-year-old Viegas opened his account for the national team with his strike against Guinea-Bissau and we expect the Resende forward to spearhead the attack once again.
He should be joined in the final third by 30-year-old Valter Rocha and Bolivia-based forward Leal, while Clube Oriental de Lisboa man Joel Neves could push for a starting role in midfield.
Despite their poor defensive performance against the Djurtus, Eusebio should stick to his centre-back pairing of Vava Pequeno and former Praia Cruz man Ivonaldo Viegas, with Anastacia Braganca starting in goal.
Sao Tome & Principe possible starting lineup:
Braganca; Soares, I Viegas, Pequeno, Nazare; Neves, Aldair, Tinho, E Viegas; Rocha, Leal
Nigeria
Meanwhile, Iwobi scored his first goal for Nigeria since November 2020 with his leveller against Sierra Leone last time out and the former Everton man should retain his place at the centre of the park alongside Rangers man Joe Aribo.
Osimhen maintained his red-hot goalscoring form and the Napoli striker should spearhead the attack on Monday, with the duo of Samuel Chukwueze and Moses Simon offering support on either flank.
Semi Ajayi and William Troost-Ekong have both started each of the Super Eagles' last three outings and should partner once again, alongside Ola Aina and Calvin Bassey in the back four.
Nigeria possible starting lineup:
Uzoho; Aina, Ajayi, Troost-Ekong, Bassey; Aribo, Etebo, Iwobi; Chukwueze, Osimhen, Simon
Prediction: Sao Tome & Principe 0-3 Nigeria
