Greece vs. Nigeria, 2014 World Cup friendly: Preview, TV schedule and how to watch online

Greece face Nigeria in a pre-World Cup friendly in Pennsylvania on Tuesday.

Greece and Nigeria continue their World Cup preparations with a friendly in Pennsylvania on Tuesday. Both of these sides have qualified for Brazil, and will no doubt be looking to resolve any tactical and personnel dilemmas as the tournament draws ever closer.

Greece head into the match on the back of a typically drab goalless draw with Portugal on Saturday, where they were strong defensively but didn't offer much going forward. Nothing new there then. However, something newsworthy did occur, with star defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos's picking up a minor knock that could be enough to sideline him this weekend. Fortunately it's not enough to put him out of the World Cup altogether.

Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi will likely opt for a more familiar lineup after he fielded a team of World Cup hopefuls in their friendly 2-2 draw in a friendly with Scotland last week. None of their probable starters in Brazil made Keshi's 11 for that match, though we can expect to see a stronger side in Pennsylvania.

Projected lineups

Greece: Orestis Karnezis; José Holebas, Vangelis Moras, Kostas Manolas, Vassilis Torosidis; Georgios Samaras, Kostas Katsouranis, Alexandros Tziolis, Giannis Maniatis, Dimitris Salpingidis; Kostas Mitroglou.

Nigeria: Vincent Enyeama; Elderson, Godfrey Oboabona, Kenneth Omeruo, Efe Ambrose; John Obi Mikel, Ogenyi Onazi; Victor Moses, Michael Uchebo, Ahmed Musa; Emmanuel Emenike.
