The Super Eagles’ camp in the Polish city of Wroclaw is buzzing with excitement ahead of Friday’s international friendly against the Bialo-Czerwoni.

Both World Cup-bound teams will trade tackles at the 43,000-capacity Stadium in Wroclaw.

Gernot Rohr, Super Eagles technical adviser, is expected to build his tactics around either of the 4-3-3 or 3-4-3 formations.

Which formation will suit the Eagles against Poland?

During the World Cup qualifiers, the Eagles thrived when utilising the 4-3-3 system, with Victor Moses, Moses Simon, Shehu Abdullahi, Alex Iwobi and Oghenekaro Etebo having the freedom to venture forward.

However, the three-man defence adopted against Argentina allowed for stability and attacking trident, with Tyrone Ebuehi, Brian Idowu and Kelechi Iheanacho proving their mettle in the 4-2 victory.

The team has the technical ability and personnel to excel with any of the tactics.

Possible starting 11

Francis Uzoho, William Troost Ekong, Leon Balogun, Brian Idowu, Shehu Abdullahi, Wilfred Ndidi, Ogenyi Onazi, John Ogu, Victor Moses, Odion Jude Ighalo, and Moses Simon.
