The super eagles of Nigeria will be looking for their first win in Group E when they face the Pirates at Stade Linite, Victoria.
Nigeria will be hoping to register their first win in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualification tournament with a trip to Victoria to face a Seychelles side working under Gavin Jeanne for the first time.
The Super Eagles lost their opening Group E campaign with a 2-0 defeat to South Africa on June 10 in Uyo, and they must be victorious in order to be able to have a strong stand.
The Pirates have never qualified for the biennial competition since inception and they must be able to get past the three time african champions.
Gernot Rohr has included four uncapped players in his first-squad, including exciting 20-year-old Porto B midfielder Kelechi Nwakali.
Collins Jamilu, Samuel Kalu and Semi Ajayi are also new to the fold. Also, there is plenty of experience to blend the fresh faces.
The Super Eagles will be without captain John Obi Mikel, Ola Aina, William Troost-Ekong and Alex Iwobi for this clash.
Potential Nigeria XI: Uzoho, Omeruo, Balogun, Ajayi, Idowu, Nwakali, Ndidi, Etebo, Musa, Ighalo, Onyekuru
