Nigeria will face Mozambique in the Round of 16 at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, and fans are already eager to see the team Coach José Peseiro will select for this crucial knockout match. The Super Eagles have shown strong attacking play and solid defending in the group stage, giving supporters confidence ahead of the encounter.

In goal, Stanley Nwabali is expected to retain his place after his consistent performances. The likely back four could include Bright Osayi-Samuel, William Troost-Ekong, Calvin Bassey and Zaidu Sanusi, offering a mix of speed, strength and experience at the back to deal with Mozambique’s attacking threats.

In midfield, Wilfred Ndidi is tipped to anchor the team, with Alex Iwobi and Frank Onyeka expected to provide support both in defence and attack. This midfield trio should help Nigeria control possession, win tackles and create chances for the forwards.

Up front, Victor Osimhen is likely to lead the line, supported by Ademola Lookman and Samuel Chukwueze on the wings. With their pace and finishing ability, the Super Eagles will hope to break down Mozambique’s defence and secure a place in the quarter-finals.
