Nigeria to beat Palancas Negras 

Nigeria’s last defeat in an AFCON quarter-final match was in 2008 when they were defeated by Ghana. 

This is the first time the Super Eagles and the Angolans will be facing off in 12 years. Also this is their very first meeting at the AFCON. However, the two sides have managed only one win in the head-to-head, making this particular match the tie-breaker.

At this stage of the competition, the result is the only thing that will be on the minds of the two teams, but a winner must emerge. 

The Super Eagles are the slight favourites in this Nigeria vs Angola predictions piece and we expect them to get closer to the AFCON title with a win here. 

Bet 1: Nigeria to win & over 1.5 @ 2.32 with Bet9ja

Both teams to score 

Despite the Super Eagles’ shaky defence, the new goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has done a great job of keeping things in shape. He has kept back-to-back clean sheets in the tournament. However, his injury during the Cameroon game casts doubt, and the potential return of Francis Uzoho might be a problem. 

Both teams have scored in two of their past four competitive matches. This particular meeting could see the two teams find the back of the net again.

This tournament has produced high-scoring matches with the two teams finding the back of the net. The same can be seen in this Nigeria vs Angola predictions piece.

Bet 2: GG @ 2.46 with Bet9ja

Fast start in Abidjan

The 2023 AFCON in Abidjan has been a goal-rich tournament, making the decision to go for this tip in this Nigeria vs Angola predictions piece quite reasonable. 

All but one game involving the Super Eagles of Nigeria produced a first-half goal. Meanwhile, games involving the Angolans produced a goal within the first 45 minutes.

We expect the two teams to have a go at each other and this could potentially result in an early goal in the match. This is why we have included this tip in our predictions piece. 

Bet 3: First half over 0.5 goals @ 1.55 with Bet9ja

Victor Osimhen to find his shooting boots

Victor Osimhen scored in his first appearance against Equatorial Guinea, but also missed several chances in that game. Since then, he has been playing a key role in Nigeria’s offensive plays, yet he has not scored any goals. 

We have reached a stage in the competition where his presence in attack should be felt by him getting among the goalscorers.

As the current African Footballer of the Year, he will be keen to make his mark. He won the Top Scorer award during the qualifiers and he knows he needs to deliver big time.

Bet 4: Victor Osimhen to score anytime @ 2.45 with BetKing
