The Nigerian team will take on Squirrels of Benin on Saturday, March 27 in Porto Novo, before returning to the Teslim Balogun in Lagos to take on Lesotho on March 30.

The Super Eagles currently sit atop of the Group L table with eight points from four matches - just one point better than their next foe ahead showdown.

The three-time Africa kings were only able to pick two points from their last two outings against Sierra Leone, thereby, delaying their qualification for the competition.

Having gone four goals up in the first half of their encounter in Benin, they ended up drawing the game 4-4 in November with a similar scenario repeating itself in Freetown a few days later.

This will be the first time in a decade the Super Eagles will play any game in Lagos, with their last against Sierra Leone ending 2-1 in favour of the hosts in 2011.

As at the time of filing this report, all invited players are already in camp including Leicester City hero Kelechi Iheanacho.
