Benin might be missing the services of Vasteras's forward Matteo Ahlinvi, who was substituted in the game against Hammarby after only 34 minutes due to an injury, though he is still expected to join the camp for further assessment.
Augsburg striker Steve Mounie, who scored the winning goal in June's victory over Nigeria, will be the man to watch once again alongside Grenoble forward Junior Olaitan.
Nigeria will be without West Brom defender Semi Ajayi, who is out with a muscle injury, and South African-based defender Olisa Ndah, both of whom have been replaced by Auxerre defender Gabriel Osho and home-based defender Victor Collins of Nasarawa United.
Osimhen returns to the side after missing last month's window due to an injury, as does Real Sociedad striker Sadiq Umar, who missed out on past games due to an ACL injury.
Benin possible starting lineup:
Dandjinou; Moumini, Hountondji, Tijani, Roche; D'Almeida, Imourane, Dossou; Dodo, Olaitan, Mounie
Nigeria possible starting lineup:
Nwabali; Aina, Troost-Ekong, Bassey, Onyemaechi; Ndidi, Onyeka; Iwobi; Simon, Lookman, Osimhen
