The Super Eagles of Nigeria need just a draw to qualify for the AFCON 2024 taking place in Cote D Ivoire.
Nigeria has won three games while scoring 13 goals and conceding just two goals.
They have only lost one game and won all remaining three but currently lie second on the table.
Their Opponent Sierra Leone has just 5 points after winning one game, drawing two and losing one so far in the qualifying process.
The Eagles defeated Sierra Leone 2-1 in the reverse fixture last June with Alex Iwobi and Victor Osimhen getting the goals.
This will be the 18th meeting between both teams, with Nigeria having a better head-to-head record, winning ten, drawing five and losing two.
Presently, Nigeria is second in the pool with nine points from four matches, a point behind Guinea Bissau, who have played five matches and reached the top following their defeat of Sao Tome and Principe on Wednesday.
The NFF is expected to offer Peseiro a new one-year contract should the Super Eagles qualify for the 2023 AFCON finals with a mandate to win the competition.
Guinea Bissau could earn their qualification too today if Nigeria defeat or draw Sierra Leone in Monrovia, Liberia today.
CAF didnt approve any of the stadiums put forward by Sierra Leone for not meeting up to standard hence their resolve to play their home game in neighbouring Liberia.
