Jose Peseiro's side were held to a 2-2 draw by the Green Falcons of Saudi Arabia in their last friendly on Friday. The Super Eagles have a good record against Mozambique. They have yet to lose to the Mambas in four meetings- three wins and a draw.
Mozambique were held to a 1-1 draw by the Palancas Negras of Angola last Friday. The Super Eagles will be without Victor Osimhen and Kelechi Iheanacho in this game. Osimhen sustained a hamstring injury against Saudi Arabia, while Iheanacho has been excused from camp to attend to a personal issue.
