Team News

Nigeria
South Africa
  • Nigeria are expected to continue with the same starting XI as that which has won both of their previous two knockout matches.
  • Ademola Lookman has scored each of his nation's three goals in the knockout stages so far.
  • South Africa have no injury or suspension issues and should go with their strongest XI once again.

Prediction

  • Nigeria made it four successive clean sheets at the Africa Cup of Nations when they narrowly defeated Angola in their quarter-final clash on Friday.
  • The Super Eagles have made it to the semi-finals, as they did in 2019, when they were knocked out by Algeria.
  • South Africa, on the other hand, progressed to the last four after a breathless penalty shootout in which goalkeeper Ronwen Williams saved four of Cape Verde's five spot-kicks.
  • The Bafana Bafana will play in an AFCON semi-final for the first time since 2000, when they were beaten by... Nigeria.
  • This one looks set to be extremely close, but if any side are to edge it, perhaps Nigeria will.
