Victor Boniface tipped to score first Super Eagles goal (s)
The Bayer Leverkusen striker has made eight appearances since his debut 13 months ago in a 6-0 win over Sao Tome and Principe in the round six of the 2023 AFCON qualifiers.
He assisted the final goal of the game, scored by Samuel Chukwueze. Unfortunately, injury ruled him out of the tournament proper, and halted the momentum building for him in the national team.
Since his return, the 23-year-old has struggled for productivity with the national team. However, he comes into this international break on the back of a stellar performance for his club since the last break.
Victor Boniface has been directly involved in six goals in as many games and with the responsibility of scoring goals for Super Eagles now on his shoulders, he is not expected to come out of the Libya double-header without getting off the mark for his country.
