Nigeria look set to pick 19-year-old Francis Uzoho in goal for their World Cup campaign.
Wilfred Ndidi has overcome injury in time and will be fine to start for the Super Eagles.
Kelechi Iheanacho and Ahmed Musa may have to settle for a place on the bench.

Croatia have a wealth of riches in midfield, meaning Mateo Kovacic and Milan Badelj will have to settle for a place on the bench.

There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 9 of Croatia's last 10 games (FIFA World Cup).


Prediction

Croatia are favourites to finish in the top two positions in Group D. Zlatko Dalic's side, however, have only won two of their last five matches.
Nigeria have prepared poorly for the World Cup, losing both of their warm-up matches. They are winless in four games.
Croatia should have enough to overcome the Super Eagles and get their World Cup campaign off on the right note.

Prediction: Croatia 2
Nigeria 0
