Why This Match is Unmissable
Nigeria enters this clash as the heavy favorite, having scored 8 goals in the group stages—their highest ever in AFCON history. However, Mozambique is making history of their own, reaching the knockout stages for the first time ever.
Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle is expected to bring back the "Big Guns" like Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman after resting them in the final group game against Uganda. But beware: Mozambique’s Geny Catamo is in clinical form and ready to cause an upset that would shock the continent!
Quick Fact: Nigeria has a dominant record against Mozambique, winning 4 out of their last 5 meetings. Will the Mambas finally break the curse today?
