Kelechi Iheanacho's goal on the half-hour mark was enough to see Nigeria kick off their AFCON campaign with a 1-0 win over Egypt. The Super Eagles are now unbeaten in four, winning three, and will be confident of extending that run on Saturday. Sudan were held to a 0-0 draw with Guinea-Bissau and they have now failed to score in six successive competitive matches. They have lost five of their last six meetings with Nigeria. Nigeria have the quality in depth to make it two wins from two at AFCON at Sudan's expense on Saturday. 2:0
Kenneth Omeruo was stretchered off late on against Egypt with Semi Ajayi expected to come into the side alongside William Troost-Ekong. Other than that, Nigeria are unlikely to make sweeping changes here. Sudan could make one change to the side that started the 0-0 draw with Guinea-Bissau. Al Gazoli Nouh may feature in attack as they seek to end a six-game goalless run in competitive action.
