On July 6, at 17:00, Nigeria and Cameroon meet in the quarterfinals of the African Cup final, in a very balanced match, as the odds suggest.
It is a good chance that the Alexandria game will be decided after extra time, because both selectors will have a cautious tactic. They are renowned players on the field, and Cameroonians have a little bit of their side, but the white-eyed guys have done very well at this tournament.
To reach this stage, Nigeria won with Burundi (1-0) and Guinea (1-0), losing the last match in the group with Madagascar (0-2). The relaxed attitude cost the “eagles”, who can not boast a defensive as good as Cameroon: the title holder has not received a goal so far, after 2-0 with Guinea Bissau and 0-0 with Ghana and Benin.
The last direct duel between the two nations ended in a draw, 1-1 in 2017, and the strength ratio has not changed much since then. Cameroon has class footballers like Bong, Ngadeu, Kana-Biyik, Mandjeck, N’Jie or Choupo-Moting, but Nigeria benefits from the experience of players such as Ighalo, Etebo, Ndidi, Musa or Jon Obi Mikel. Nigeria did not score in five of the last eight games, but failed to score in four of them.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / NO @ 1,53
