Nigeria
Victor Osimhen, who has been on fire for club and country over the past year, is a minor doubt as he has been struggling with a hamstring injury over the last month.
There are also question marks over the fitness of Taiwo Awoniyi, Bruno Onyemaechi and Samuel Chukwueze, which could leave the door open for Moffi to continue in attack.
Nigeria possible starting lineup:
Adeleye; Osayi-Samuel, Ajayi, Omeruo, Sanusi; Iwobi, Ndidi, Simon, Onyeka; Aribo, Osimhen
Lesotho
Three foreign-based professionals, Motlomelo Mkhwanazi, Bokang Sello, and Neo Mokhachane, were spotted linking up with the rest of the Lesotho squad ahead of this match.
Tshwarelo Bereng is expected to provide the creativity in the Crocodiles engine room, while Chinese-based Thabiso Brown will be hoping to lead the line in a 4-5-1 formation.
Lesotho possible starting lineup:
Moerane; Mkwanazi, Sello, Makepe, Malane; Lebokollane, Lesaoana, Mokhachane, Bereng, Sefali; Brown
Prediction: Nigeria 3-1 Lesotho
