In a fortnight, Nigeria will play Guinea-Bissau in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
On March 24, the Super Eagles host the opening leg; they depart three days later.
After winning their first two games, the three-time African champions are currently in first place in Group A with a two-point lead over Guinea-Bissau.
So, the overall result of the group will depend greatly on who controls the Djurtus across the two legs.
Jose Peseiro, the head coach of Nigeria, is undoubtedly trying to bring some of his best players to the two games.
Given that some of the players that are anticipated to be called up are excelling, Peseiro won’t have any issues.
Of course, there is Victor Osimhen of Napoli.
Osimhen scored 100 goals in Europe in just 197 games, outpacing some of the all-time greats in that regard.
By comparison, Cristiano Ronaldo finished in 301 games as opposed to Lionel Messi’s 210.
Osimhen, who has scored 21 goals in 26 games for Napoli, is the only player driving the team’s championship defence this year.
Atalanta and Ademola Lookman are both lighting up Serie A.
Lookman started the season strong, but he looks to be having trouble lately.
In his last six league contests, the 24-year-old has gone scoreless. He has played in 24 league games with La Dea, but altogether he has 12 goals and 5 assists.
The forward for Leicester City, Kelechi Iheanacho, has also been doing well.
Only Harvey Barnes (eight) and James Maddison (nine) have more goals for City this season than Iheanacho’s six in all competitions. He has scored four goals in his past seven games.
Peseiro would be aiming for two straight victories following three straight losses to Costa Rica, Portugal, and Algeria.
There is little debate over the 62-year-ability old’s to accomplish it with his current armament.
