Nigeria v Bosnia - LIVE Q&A

Live Commentary

• Nigeria have a mixed record against European competition in the World Cup, winning four and drawing once in nine encounters. Another victory tonight would all but put them into the next round, but Bosnia won't want their debut campaign to end so soon.
• Toni Sunjic comes into defence for Bosnia as Ermin Bicakcic drops to the bench. The only other change is at left-back where Sead Kolasinac, who scored the own goal against Argentina, makes way for Haris Medunjanin, but it remains to be seen if that is where the Gaziantepspor man will start or if Safet Susic will shuffle his line-up further.
• Stephen Keshi has Godfrey Oboabona ruled out with an ankle injury so Joseph Yobo slots into the centre of defence. Victor Moses is replaced by Peter Odemwingie on the right wing and Ramon Azeez loses his place with the coach instead calling upon Michael Babatunde.
• Bosnia (4-2-3-1): Begovic; Mujdza, Sunjic, Spahic, Medunjanin; Pjanic, Besic; Hajrovic, Misimovic, Lulic; Dzeko.
• Nigeria (4-2-3-1): Enyeama; Ambrose, Oshaniwa, Yobo, Omeruo; Onazi, Mikel; Musa, Odemwingie, Babatunde; Emenike.
• The Dragons suffered defeat in their first ever World Cup fixture against Argentina last Sunday. They gave a good account of themselves but were eventually undone by some Lionel Messi magic and fell to a 2-1 loss. Vedad Ibisevic came on from the bench to score for Safet Susic's side, however there is no place for him in the starting XI tonight. Full line-ups on the way.
• The Super Eagles have not won any of their previous nine World Cup fixtures. In fact, their last win in the competition came back in 1998 when they defeated Bulgaria 1-0. Victory tonight, though, would dump Bosnia out of the tournament and put Nigeria on the brink of progression.
• Hello and welcome to this evening's Group F encounter between Nigeria and Bosnia-Herzegovina at the Arena Pantanal, Cuiaba. It is the first time these two nations have met in international football, and both will be keen to pick up all three points tonight and take a firm grip on second position in the process, so expect a well-fought game. My name is Tom Webber, and I am going to be your host tonight.
