Nyerinda who now has the full complement of his players drilled the team on the synthetic pitch although the winner-takes- all match will take place at the lush green pitch of the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo on Saturday.
Nigeria with 10 points is seating pretty well in the driver’s seat in the FIFA World Cup Russia 2018 African qualifiers Group B while Zambia has 7 points to place second even as the winner on Saturday automatically qualifies for the Mundial.
