Zimbabwe
Exeter City striker Admiral Muskwe was forced off with a game-ending injury inside the opening half-hour against Rwanda and is a major doubt for Sunday's clash.
Luton Town's Marvelous Nakamba should retain his role at the centre of the park, while we expect an unchanged back three of Gerald Takwara, Teenage Hadebe and Divine Lunga.
Zimbabwe possible starting lineup:
Bernard; Takwara, Hadebe, Lunga; Mbeba, Munetsi, Nakamba, Band, Musona; Dube, Dzvukamanja
Nigeria
Despite Thursday's disappointing result, we expect Nigeria to name a similar XI, with Victor Boniface and Taiwo Awoniyi leading the attack in the absence of the injured Victor Osimhen.
Brentford's Frank Onyeka should team up with Alex Iwobi in midfield, while Ajayi and Calvin Bassey should form the centre-back pairing shielding Francis Uzoho between the sticks.
Nigeria possible starting lineup:
Uzoho; Osayi-Samuel, Ajayi, Bassey, Collins; Onyeka, Iwobi, Iheanacho, Lookman; Boniface, Awoniyi
Prediction: Zimbabwe 0-2 Nigeria
