Goal Scorer:
Nigeria
Peseiro has had to deal with several forced withdrawals — Wilfred Ndidi, Victor Boniface, and Sadiq Umar have been replaced on the eve of their first game because of injury — while Kelechi Iheanacho is doubtful.
While Bayer Leverkusen's frontman was primed to partner Osimhen in a 4-4-2, Alex Iwobi was expected to play alongside Ndidi in midfield, and it remains to be seen how Peseiro rejigs his side.
Much has been made about Peseiro's preference for Francis Uzoho, but the goalkeeper should retain his starting berth.
Nigeria possible starting lineup:
Uzoho; Osayi-Samuel, Ajayi, Bassey, Onyemaechi; Chukwueze, Iwobi, Onyeka, Simon; Moffi, Osimhen
Equitorial Guinea
Emilio Nsue will be pivotal to Equatorial Guinea's hopes of success at AFCON 2021, and the striker should lead the line in Micha's 4-2-3-1.
A possible threat to the Super Eagles is Jose Machin, whose ball-carrying could disrupt Nigeria's flawed organisation out of possession.
Equatorial Guinea possible starting lineup:
Owono; Akapo, Anieboh, Orozco, Ndong; Ganet, Bikoro; Miranda, Machin, Salvador; Nsue
Prediction: Nigeria 1-1 Equatorial Guinea
