These sides entered their final group-stage games with a place in the last 16 already secured, so it is unsurprising to see both opting for numerous changes.
Nigeria make eight from their win over Uganda, with Calvin Bassey, Bruno Onyemaechi and Victor Osimhen the starters retained.
That means Stanley Nwabali, Bright Osayi-Samuel, Semi Ajayi, Frank Onyeka, Wilfred Ndidi, Ademola Lookman, Alex Iwobi and Akor Adams return.
Raphael Onyedika scored twice against the Cranes but the Club Brugge midfielder is back among the substitutes.
Forward Cyriel Dessers, who joined Panathinaikos from Rangers in September, will miss the rest of the finals with a thigh injury.
Blackburn Rovers right-back Ryan Alebiosu made his Nigeria debut in the win over Uganda on Tuesday but is out with a cut foot.
Nigeria XI: Nwabali, Osayi-Samuel, Ajayi, Bassey, Onyemaechi, Onyeka, Ndidi (capt), Iwobi, Lookman, Osimhen, Adams.
Subs: Uzoho (GK), Obasogie (GK), Sanusi, Ogbu, Dele-Bashiru, Chukwueze, Usman, Simon, Onyedika, Onuachu, Awaziem, Ejuke, Lawal, Akinsanmiro, Nnadi.
