The Super Eagles were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Lesotho at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo on Thursday, while Zimbabwe played out a goalless stalemate with Rwanda in their own opening fixture.
Jose Peseiro’s men will hope to kickstart their qualifiers when they lock horns with the Warriors at the Huye Stadium on Sunday, November 19, by 3 p.m. local time (2 p.m. in Nigeria), with a win taking them to four points after two games.
