Joy Bokiri,  who sat out the opening match,  is  expected  to start against Canada.However,  Ugochi Emenayo, Chinwendu Ihezuo, Yetunde Adeboyejo and Chinaza Uchendu will  retain their starting places in the team.
 Dedevbo told the Nigeria Football Federation’s official website, “The focus right now is on how to pick up full  points against Canada. The lineup against Canada will change and most of the mistakes we made in the first game have been corrected. I remain optimistic that we will do a good job.”
