As the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations advances to the quarter-final stage, anticipation builds for the clash between Nigeria and Angola in Abidjan on Friday evening. Both teams, boasting unbeaten records, set the stage for an exciting encounter.
The Super Eagles, showcasing defensive prowess with three consecutive clean sheets, are fortified for success. Despite their attacking prowess, highlighted by talents like Victor Osimhen, it was Ademola Lookman’s brace that secured their victory against Cameroon in the last 16.
Angola, having netted three goals against Namibia, earned a spot in the quarter-finals, but a setback looms as their first-choice goalkeeper Neblu will be absent due to a red card in the previous match.
