The Super Eagles’ head coach, Eric Chelle, has picked an unchanged starting lineup for Tuesday evening’s 2026 World Cup qualifier against Zimbabwe.

Chelle took command of his first game against Rwanda on Friday.

Victor Osimhen scored a brace to boost Nigeria’s chances of qualifying for the tournament.

Chelle has again stuck with the quartet of Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, Simon Moses and Samuel Chukwueze in attack.

In midfield, Alex Iwobi and Wilfred Ndidi will continue, just like Stanley Nwabali in goal.

Ola Aina, Bright Osayi-Samuel, Calvin Bassey and captain William Troost-Ekong will man the defence. Kick-off is 5 pm WAT.

Super Eagles XI vs Zimbabwe:

Nwabali; Aina, Ekong, Bassey, Osayi; Ndidi, Iwobi, Chukwueze, Simon; Lookman, Osimhen.
