The stage is set, the Super Eagles of Nigeria are ready to tackle the Seleção of Brazil in Sunday's highly-anticipated friendly encounter at the Singapore National Stadium.


1. No Clean Sheet

Tite's team consists of deadly strikers who can score goals with ease, hence it looks impossible to see the Super Eagles record a famous clean sheet on Sunday.

The West African side have a very fragile defensive unit ahead of the game and it could be difficult to stop Neymar, Firmino, Jesus or Coutinho from finding the back of net.

Nigeria, at other hand, have group of in-form strikers heading into the game and it will be very hard for Brazil to prevent Victor Osimhen from extending his goalscoring streak.

2. Strong Starting Line-up From Both Sides

Having failed to record a victory in three games, Tite will definitely name a strong starting XI who can put an end to the uninspiring run as early as possible.

Rohr will hope to create a new record by becoming the first Super Eagles manager to win against the South Americans. Therefore, he is expected to name his strongest squad from the start.

Both teams are known for their high physical strengths and fans should be expecting more of a physical battle during the encounter.

With Ndidi's return into the team coupled with Esiti's physical presence, Rohr's men are likely to have an edge over their opponents when it comes to physical contest at the middle of the pitch.
