Guinea Bissau vs Nigeria – Team Previews
Guinea Bissau
Following an opening-day stalemate versus Sudan, Guinea Bissau fell to a 1-0 defeat to the Pharaohs of Egypt on Saturday in their second outing.
Mohammed Salah broke the deadlock with 20 minutes of normal time left to play and that was enough to sink Baciro Cande's men in Garoua.
The Djurtus are third in Group D as things stand and must now emerge triumphant in their final group fixture to progress into the next round.
Last time out, the Video Assistant Referee denied Mame Balde what would have been only his second international goal but the Troyes forward was a constant thorn in the Egyptians' flesh throughout the game.
Having seen his side fail to score in six consecutive outings, head coach Cande might be inclined to make some alterations to his forward line for this one.
Predicted lineup; Jonas Mendes; Fali Cande, Sori Mane, Opa Sangante, Jefferson Encada; Bura Nogueira, Moreto Cassama, Panutche Camara; Piqueti Silva, Mama Balde, Steve Ambri
Nigeria
Nigeria made it two wins from as many games courtesy of a routine 3-1 victory over Sudan on Saturday.
Goals from Samuel Chukwueze, Taiwo Awoniyi and Simon Moses put Augustine Eguavoen's men in the box seat before Walieldin Khidir pulled one back for his side from the penalty spot.
The Super Eagles have made it through to the last 16 as a result and are guaranteed to finish as group winners.
Nine years on from the last time they tasted success on a continental level, the West Africans are looking good to go all the way in Cameroon this time around.
Alex Iwobi will be pushing for a start here after coming off the bench in each of the opening two matches.
Moses Simon has now racked up 10 direct goal involvements after supplying a goal as well as an assist in a man-of-the-match performance last time out.
Predicted lineup; Maduka Okoye; Zaidu Sanusi, Kenneth Omeruo, William Troost-Ekong, Ola Aina; Wilfred Ndidi, Joe Aribo, Moses Simon, Samuel Chukwueze; Taiwo Awoniyi, Kelechi Iheanacho
