Nigeria vs Algeria - Things you should know about the two teams

The Super Eagles will be hosting of Algeria

at the Akwa Ibom International Stadium in Uyo

and will be looking to take another giant step

towards qualifying for a third World Cup on the

bounce. However, there are some important fact about both teams we should look at prior to this fixture .

Victor Moses has been terrific

Besides netting a couple of goals for his club, the super eagles winger has found great form under Antonio Conte courtesy of the Chelsea manager's 3 - 4 - 3  formation. His athletism, skills and pace have been terrific of lately and prior to the match against Algeria, the winger will be looking forward to exploiting  the Foxes defence.

Mikel John Obi has not featured for Chelsea

Nigerian captain Mikel John Obi has not featured for Chelsea since the beginning of the season.However, He has been great while on duty for his National team and having not been able to impress Antonio Conte, and with regards to comments he made about fighting for his place in the Chelsea team, the midfielder will try to display a classic performance against Algeria, let's say to prove Conte wrong.

How has Kelechi Iheanacho and  Alex Iwobi's form been? 

Manchester City young striker Kelechi Iheanocho after been handed some First Team opportunities by Pep Guardiola, the Nigerian international who netted against Southampton in their last premier league match has had good games with city. Same for Alex Iwobi, the arsenal man who netted against Zambia has received lot of praises from Arsene Wenger and top football pundits for his performances in the Arsenal team . So as it stands both will be great weapons against the Algerian defense.

Algeria not strong defesively

About the Algerian team, they not been the same, mean to say defensively sincethe exit of Majid Bougherra and Rafik Halliche who have been the solid rock which the Algerian defence was built. So let's hope the super use this defensive weakness and put a smile on the face Nigerians.
