Nigeria meets Cameroon in the Africa Cup of Nations 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Saturday, July 6th at Alexandria Stadium (Alexandria)
Nigeria got out of the group only from the 2nd place giving up the first line to Madagascar, to whom it lost in the last round. But it if Nigeria gained a victory in that match, which, in principle, experts expected from the Super Eagles, and now it would have to play not against the reigning champion of Africa, but only against someone from the trio of Guinea, Congo, and Benin.

Cameroon has exactly the same situation, with the only difference: in the last round, Cameroon failed to beat Benin and gave it a pass to the playoffs. And the national team of Ghana, which took the 1st place, was ahead by additional fixtures. It has more goals scored.
It is simply unreal to determine the winner in this pair. The teams are about equal in their qualifications at the moment. And in this situation, I would venture to bet on the exchange of goals. Yes, African teams are not prone to scoring head-to-head matches. Well, no one, including myself, is forcing them to do it. But each of them is simply obliged to score a goal. In the attacking line, Cameroon has Ekambi from Villarreal, who scored 10 goals in the last championship, Bahokem from Angers - 11 goals, Choupo-Moting, who played 22 matches for PSG and scored 3 goals, but Mbapé, Cavani and Neymar were his competitors. As for Nigeria, it has Ighalo, who played in Granada, Watford, and now scored 7 goals in 8 games in China. There is also a representative of Bordeaux, Kalu, and don’t forget about Musa, who scored 41 goals over 5 seasons in CSKA Moscow. So, these guys, with the support of partners, are likely to score at least one goal for each team.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
