CIV VS NIG: Two Mistakes Jose Peseiro Should Avoid Repeating In This Game For The Super Eagles

The Super Eagles of Nigeria are set to return to action in the African Cup of Nations on Thursday when they face Ivory Coast at the Stade Olympique Alassane Outtara. After a disappointing start against Equatorial Guinea, the Nigerian National Team is eager to secure a crucial victory against Ivory Coast to boost their morale ahead of a possible long journey in the tournament.

Well, In this article, I will be sharing two mistakes Jose Peseiro should avoid repeating in this game for the Super Eagles against Ivory Coast.

1. Diversify Striking Options.

Jose Peseiro should reconsider relying solely on Victor Osimhen in the striking position. In the previous match, using Victor Osimhen alone didn't yield the desired results. Introducing a second striker alongside Victor Osimhen could significantly bolster the team's attacking prowess, increasing the chances of scoring crucial goals in this vital encounter.

2. Benching Moses Simon.

Considering Moses Simon's current poor form, it's advisable for Jose Peseiro to bench him for this game. The Nantes winger struggled in the last encounter against Ivory Coast, failing to make a substantial impact on the team's attack. With the addition of Kelechi Iheanacho, a strategic move would be to place him in the right-wing position while entrusting Ademola Lookman with the left flank. This adjustment can bring a fresh dynamic to the team's offensive capabilities.
