Nigeria and Cameroon meet at the Alexandria Stadium in Alexandria in a game for the knockout stages of the African Cup of Nations. The history of clashes between these teams is favorable to the Nigerian team: in 5 games, Nigeria added 3 wins and 2 draws. We remember that the last game ended in a 1-1 draw.
Nigeria:
The Nigerian team reaches this stage of the African Cup of Nations after finishing second in Group B, with 6 points added, result of 2 wins and 1 loss. Their only defeat in the group stage was in the last match, when they surprisingly lost to Madagascar 2-0. The two victories were against Burundi and Guinea.
Despite having a team with several individual values, coach Gernot Rohr must present a more cautious strategy on the field, in which counterattacks will be the brand image of his team. To implement the attack-defense transitions, Nigeria can count on the speed and quality in the hand of Musa and Alex Iwobi. On the attack front, Ighalo has presented competition in offensive offensive balls. All equipment is available for this game.
Cameroon:
The Cameroon team did not make a convincing group stage, however, they gained access to this phase due to their second place in Group F. In total, the Cameroon team added 5 points, the result of 2 draws and 1 victory. In their last game of the group stage, Cameroon drew 0-0 with the fragile side Benin. The only victory was precisely in the first round, when he beat Guinea-Bissau 2-0.
The group stage served perfectly for coach Clarence Seedorf to understand the weaknesses of his team at the time of finishing the plays created. This will be a point that you want to change for this game. However, despite these shortcomings, the Cameroon team has two very fast athletes, Toko Ekambi and Bahoken. On the other hand, Zambo Anguissa is the great responsible for the defensive balance of the team. For this game, all players will be available.
