The Super Eagles technical adviser, Gernot Rohr will be in charge for the first time and will hope to start on a winning note as Nigeria prepares for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers scheduled to start in October.
Both countries won't be at Gabon 2017 as group winner, Egypt have secured the sole ticket in the group. But this match will give the German, Gernot Rohr an insight to the kind of team he'll start with at the 2018 World Cup qualifiers away to Zambia on October 3.
Nigeria has lined up a decent squad that should secure a big win; former junior int'l, Musa Mohammed will start while Ahmed Musa, captain Mikel Obi, Victor Moses and Kelechi Iheanacho all start.
Carl Ikeme will be between the sticks while Leon Balogun, William Troost-Ekong, Elderson Echiejile and Musa Mohammed form back four. Ogenyi Onazi and John Obi Mikel will operate from the midfield while Ahned Musa and Victor Moses will run from the wings as they deliver precise crosses for Watford striker, Jude Odion Ighalo. Kelechi Iheanacho's creativity behind Ighalo will make use of those rebounds.
