The football fan was reacting to the photo of Maduka Okoye who trained with his teammates at the Uyo Stadium ahead of the clash.

Maduka’s photo was posted by sports photojournalist Pooja, who is covering the game in Uyo.

Pooja wrote:

“Maduka Okoye, in training ahead of the AFCON qualifiers.”

But reacting to Pooja’s post, X user Ndukaku predicted that Maduka would start in the lineup.

He said:

“Maduka is going to start tomorrow.”

In their previous game, Benin defeated Nigeria, and there are currently a lot of expectations that the national team would do well in the crucial encounter to place well in the qualifying tables.
