It is expected that the Nigerian coach would want to rest those star players that qualified the team to the next round in order to give other players a taste of the action against Australia.
Having secured six points to move top of Group B, the team will be hoping to secure another victory against an Australian team that would be desperate for three points in a bid to have any outside chance of qualifying from the group.
The Aussie lost their opening encounter 2-1 to Ecuador before holding Hungary to a 2-2 draw.
