Nigeria vs Sierra Leone: Peseiro picks Osimhen, Umar to lead Super Eagles' attack 

New Portuguese manager has settled for the gangling duo of Victor Osimhen and Sadiq Umar to lead the Super Eagles attack in their first game in 2023 AFCON Qualifiers

The Super Eagles who are gunning for a 20th appearance in the biennial tournament are strong favourites to win despite their poor run of form that has seen them go five matches without any victory.

Now under a new manager, Jose Peseiro, the Eagles will want to justify their higher ranking over the Leone Stars.
