Where to Watch Live

Kick-off is set for 11pm BST. Live coverage is on BBC One and BBC One HD. Radio commentary of the game will be available on BBC Radio 5 Live.

Overview

Nigeria were held to a goalless draw by Iran in their first Group clash last Monday. Despite holding a greater amount of possession throughout the game, the Super Eagles failed to break their Asian counterparts' defence and were made to be content with a point.

Bosnia and Herzegovina posed a significant challenge to Argentina but ultimately lost 2-1 at the Estadio Maracana, Rio de Janeiro.

The South Americans took the lead courtesy of an own goal by Sead Kolasinac before Barcelona star Lionel Messi doubled their advantage with a sublime solo effort in the 65<sup>th minute.

Substitute Vedad Ibisevic pulled one back for the Safet Susic's side but the Stuttgart striker's effort was not enough to clinch their first point in the World Cup.

The 59-year-old manager will be expecting his side to respond strongly against the Nigerians as the European outfit stand a chance of being eliminated in the group stage if they lose this fixture.

What Managers Say

Stephen Keshi: "Yes, we are confident. I know I talked to my players and I know we will come out winners. Bosnia is a tough opponent, has a good offense, but I'm sure we will have a good game and win. We have a passion for playing football. Our mood is very good, we are passionate about the World Cup and that's how we're going to the end."

Safet Susic: "We are in the most uncomfortable position of all teams. If we lose, we can pack our bags and head home. The others have a theoretical chance to progress. So everyone is aware of the importance of the match. We are a team that cherishes attacking football and wants to defeat any team at any moment. We are playing to win. The game will be an open match, plenty of chances - maybe even goals galore. "
