Nigeria vs Liberia 03.09.2021
The Super Eagles will begin their quest for a place in Qatar 2022 with a home fixture against the Lone Stars of Liberia in Lagos. The hosts are the favourites to win, especially considering the form of both sides and the calibre of players available to each of the teams.
The Eagles will not be with Brentford midfielder Frank Onyeka who has tested positive for COVID-19. But the rest of the squad should get the job done.
