Eric Chelle Elects For 4-4-2 Against Rwanda

Afrofooty can report that coach Eric Chelle will set up with 2 strikers, 2 midfielders and 4 defenders against Rwanda in today’s must-win 2026 World Cup qualifier against hosts the Amavubi of Rwanda with 2 wingers on the flanks.

Stanley Nwabali mans the post; Captain William Ekong, Calvin Bassey ,Bruno Onyemaechi, and Ola Aina make up the defence.

The midfield has Wilfred Ndidi alongside Alex Iwobi or Raphael Onyedika.

The attack has Moses Simon as the left winger, Samuel Chukwueze on the right, while Victor Osimhen is the top striker to be supported by Ademola Lookman, who plays as a second striker at his Italian club Atalanta.

It will be interesting to see how the thin midfield holds out and whether the Super Eagles can function with just 4 rather than 5 at the back.

Super Eagles Starting XI vs Rwanda (4-4-2):

Nwabali – Bruno Onyemaechi, Ola Aina, Ekong (Captain), Bassey – Ndidi, Iwobi/Onyedika, Chukwueze, Moses Simon – Ademola Lookman, Osimhen
