The Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon is heating up and we’re catching all the excitement, goals, celebrations and dissapointments for the teams that crashed out.

Now, the men have been seperated from the boys as we’re in the round of 16 stage where;

Burkina Faso vs Gabon

Guinea vs Gambia

Cameroon vs Comoros

Senegal vs Cape Verde

Morocco vs Malawi

Ivory Coast vs Egypt

Mali vs Equatorial Guinea

Nigeria vs Tunisia

Our focus will be on the match between Nigeria and Tunisia. I will be joined virtually by Ifeanyi Ibeh who will give us an expert analysis into the blockbuster fixture.

Both teams have met 20 times in the past. The Super Eagles won six, drew eight, while Tunisia won six. Ifeanyi, is this the final of the battle for supremacy between Nigeria and Tunisia and why is that so?

Tunisia were only able to win a game in the group. That’s against Mauritania by 4-0. They lost to Mali and Gambia. Nigeria on the other hand won all three matches against Egypt, Sudan, and Guinea-Bissau. Don’t you think it’ll be a one-sided affair with Nigeria being overall favorites?

Although Tunisia’s form has not been great but history tells us that they’re always a nut to crack for Nigeria, how can Nigeria overcome one of their fiercest rivals in African football?

Eguavoen said theyd be preparing for penalties. Do you see the match heading to extratime? and how should he set up?

Your prediction.
