The Super Eagles of Nigeria are set to round up their super impressive World-cup qualifier run today when they take on the Desert Warriors of Algeria in the final match of the CAF qualification 3rd round today (Friday).
The Eagles pitched their tent in Morocco earlier in the week as they prepare to walk over the shallow and inferior Algerian national team in the “dead rubber clash”, after they sealed their spot in Russia next year with a home win against Zambia last month.
The Algerians on the other hand will hope to raise some sort of resistance to the table topping eagles as they look to savage at least one compensation point from the match after their abysmal performance in the qualifiers disqualified them from the world-cup next year. Their team is yet to gain balance after they sacked their Spanish manager few weeks ago, only to appoint a new one few days to the match.
The Nigerian team will be without Victor Moses for the first time in over one year after he sustained a hamstring injury few weeks ago in Chelsea’s match against Crystal Palace. Ogenyi Onazi, Moses Simon and Odion Ighalo are also ruled out of the match due to long and short term injuries. Algeria on the other-hand, have injury worries as all their players currently boast of a very fine form.
The match will kick-off at 8:30 (CAT) in the Stade Mohamed Hamlaoui stadium in Constantine, Algeria.
