Barring any last minute announcement, Mozambique will be up against Nigeria in a friendly match on Monday night.
The match will be played at the Albufeira Municipal Stadium pitch on Monday, Oct 13, 2023, at 16:00.
Here, KemiFilani brings you some of the players to watch out for in the friendly match.
Nigeria played out a 2-2 draw with Saudi Arabia in their last outing on Friday night while Angola held Mozambique to a 1-1 on the same day.
Kelechi Iheanacho of Leicester City and Napoli striker Victor Osimhen are likely to miss the game having left the team’s camp for various reasons.
But just as coach Jose Peseiro has noted, Nigeria has quality replacements for the duo. The likes of Terim Moffi and Victor Boniface can step in.
The key players in the Nigerian squad include Moses Simon whose performance against Saudi Arabia could earn a start against the Mambas on Monday.
Wilfred Ndidi of Leicester City is another top performer in the Super Eagles midfield. The midfielder was outstanding against Saudi Arabia on Friday.
For the Mambas, Domingues Pelembé, an experienced midfielder is Mozambique’s second joint top scorer in the nation’s history. He is the player Peseiro’s side should look out for.
