UNDERFIRE Nigeria coach, Shuaibu Amodu, will line up the same starting team that dumped Mozambique 3-0 for the Super Eagles Nations Cup quarter-final against Zambia on Monday.

This means that Wolfsburg striker Obafemi Martins will start from the bench, while defensive midfielder Sani Kaita is picked ahead of Dynamo Kiev's Yusuf Ayila.

Everton striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni will again be skipper.

"The team that started against Mozambique have won the confidence of not just Amodu but also other officials here and barring any last-minute change of heart, illness or injury, that will be the same team that will kick-off against Zambia on Monday (today)," a top official informed MTNFootball.com.

However, Zambia, which started with the same team in their three group games, are forced to make at least two changes on today as a result of the suspension of midfielder Rainford Kalaba and central defender Kampamba Chintu.
