Team news
Zambia
Zambia come into this game having won just one game so far in 2016, which was a 3-2 victory over Lesotho in June during the 2016 COSAFA Cup. That being said, they have an excellent record when it comes to facing Nigeria on their home turf and will be seeking to make sure that stands when they take on one of the giants of African football this Sunday.
Nigeria
Currently under the tutelage of German tactician Gernot Rohr, Nigeria have won their past three games, including a narrow 1-0 victory over Tanzania in AFCON qualifying last month. The Super Eagles, however, will have to make do without key players such as Leon Balogun, Victor Moses, and Isaac Success. This will give some players who are struggling to break into the starting XI at club level, such as Leicester City's Ahmed Musa, and emerging youngsters like Grenada's Uche Henry Agbo a possible chance to stake their claims for a starting berth within the national side.
