Rwanda with seven points are number one on the group of six while Nigeria is placed 5th with just three points after four games.
South Africa, Zimbabwe, Lesotho and Benin Republic are other teams in the group.
After the Friday tie against Rwanda, the Eagles will come back to Uyo. Akwa Ibom State to take on Zimbabwe in continuation of the FIFA World Cup qualification series.
