Aina Ekong Frederick Bassey Agu
Ndidi Frank Iwobi
Osimhe/Christantus or Arokodare
4-3-2-1
Aina-Fredrick-Bassy- Bruno
Ndidi- Onyeka-Iwob
Uche-Lookman
Arokodare
Arokodare knocks down aerial balls for Lookman or Uche to score the goals,
once we are two goals up, replace Lookman with Osai Samuel
Replace Onyeka with Ekong, replace Iwobi with Moses, finally bring on Chukwueze for Uche
we need to score two goals in the first half, and we need Uche to unlock their defense.
