The second meeting was in a friendly in 2005, which Nigeria won 1-0. The most recent of the meetings was in the group stage of the Morocco 2018 African Nations Championship in January – which Nigeria won 1-0. But following the Seychelles win, Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr is expected to ring some changes in the team especially in the midfield and attack. The Eagles struggled to hold play against the semi-professional Seychelles team and could not convert their chances – which may prove costly if repeated against Libya. Nigeria’s stand-in captain Ahmed Musa is confident his team can stop Libya and get their AFCON hopes on track.
