Twenty-six-year-old forward Nshuti scored his fourth goal for Rwanda in 18 caps, and he is expected to lead the line once again.
Right-back Fitina Omborenga has 63 caps, making him the sixth most-capped player for the Wasps, one cap away from being joint-fifth, and he is expected to achieve this on Tuesday.
Rwanda possible starting lineup:
Ntwari; Omborenga, Mutsinzi, Manzi, Niyomugabo; Rebangouka, Bizimana; G Mugisha, Muhire, Kwizera; Nshuti
Nigeria
Reigning African Player of the Year, Osimhen, came off the bench to find the net for Nigeria last time out, and he is likely to play from the start in this clash.
Lookman, who was named man of the match against Benin after his brace, will support Osimhen while Samuel Chukwueze is expected to complete the front three after a fine showing last Saturday.
Lazio midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru is also in contention for a starting place after his fine cameo against Benin.
Nigeria possible starting lineup:
Nwabali; Ekong, Ajayi, Bassey; Aina, Ndidi, Iwobi, Onyemaechi; Lookman, Osimhen, Chukwueze
Prediction: Rwanda 1-2 Nigeria
