Having been afforded the opportunity to rest players in the final group stage game, Nigeria currently have a clean bill of health for their Africa Cup of Nations round of 16 clash with Tunisia on Sunday.

Interim coach Augustine Eguavoen has confirmed he will be looking to approach the game in the same manner his team did during their opening win over Egypt, so it seems reasonable to expect a very similar lineup.

In many ways, this looks like one of the worst teams Nigeria could have drawn.

Tunisia might not have made much of a statement themselves but, given some of the relative minnows in other groups, to get drawn against them is somewhat unlucky.

Still, if the Super Eagles are going to lift the AFCON on Cameroonian soil, these are the games they need to win.
