As Nigeria’s Super Falcons prepare to face world champions Spain in their Paris Olympics Group C matchday two clash this Sunday, Asisat Oshoala is expected to start, potentially replacing Chiwendu Ihezuo.
Spain, the reigning UEFA Women’s Nations League champions, are favored to win in their first-ever encounter with Nigeria. They secured a 2-1 victory over Japan on Thursday, while Nigeria suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Brazil.
Ihezuo was given the start as center forward in the opening match, but after a lackluster performance, Oshoala is likely to take her place. Despite not playing in the previous match, Oshoala, a former Barcelona star, brings confidence, skill, and experience that could challenge Spain’s defense and provide the efficiency Nigeria needs.
The Super Falcons are eager to secure a positive result against La Roja, as another loss could jeopardize their chances of advancing in the Olympics.
