Nigeria vs South Africa prediction

Nigeria look focused on their goal of reaching the final and Peseiro’s charges look to be a blend of defensive solidity and attacking power.

No goals conceded in the knockout stages, and the form of Lookman alongside Victor Osimhen, should be enough to see them into a showdown against hosts Ivory Coast or DR Congo.

Prediction: Nigeria 2-0 South Africa
