Nigeria currently lead Group B with six points from two games while Cameroon are in second place, four points behind the Super Eagles while Zambia and Algeria make up the tail.

A win for Coach Gernot Rhor will see the Super Eagles take a giant step towards qualification for the 2018 Fifa World Cup to be held in Russia. 

The indomitable lions coached by Hugo Broos will have to work hard if they must return to Russia. They recorded a dismal performance at the 2017 Confederations Cup, exiting with just a point following a 1-1 draw with Australia in the group stages.
