The Super Eagles of Nigeria will today take on Saudi Arabia in an international friendly at the Estádio Municipal de Portimão in Portugal.
RAWLOADED reports that the match will serve as a warm-up game for their upcoming 2026 AFCON qualifier against Lesotho in November.
Twenty-four Super Eagles players have reported to camp, with the notable return of goalkeeper Maduka Okoye.
Super Eagles manager Jose Peseiro is expected to field the best players for the friendly match against Saudi Arabia, who were the last team that defeated World Cup champions Argentina.
RAWLOADED brings you three Super Eagles players to watch out for against Saudi Arabia.
These players have been impressive for their club sides so far this season.
The Napoli striker has continued his goal-scoring form from last season.
He has so far scored six goals in eight Serie A appearances for Napoli.
Osimhen also scored a hat-trick against Sao Tome and Principe in Nigeria’s last game.
The 24-year-old is now the fourth-highest goal scorer in Nigeria’s history behind the likes of Yakubu Aiyegbeni and Segun Odegbami.
He will definitely give the Saudis a tough time in Portugal.
2. Wilfred Ndidi
The Leicester City midfielder has been brilliant for the Foxes so far this season in the EFL Championship.
Ndidi was recently named the Skybet Player of the Month for September after registering three assists and scoring a goal.
He has brought his remarkable performance to the Super Eagles, controlling the midfield for Jose Peseiro’s men against Sao Tome and Principe.
The 26-year-old is expected to put in an exceptional display for Nigeria against Saudi Arabia.
3. Victor Boniface
The Bayer Leverkusen attacker has gained recognition both in the national team and club side.
The 22-year-old has scored seven goals for Bayer Leverkusen since his move from Union SG.
He is expected to bring his brilliant performance in Bayer to the Super Eagles against Saudi Arabia.
