Egypt vs Nigeria: Preview

Egypt's narrow loss to Senegal was a stark reminder of how fierce this year's AFCON has been.

The Pharaohs managed just one shot on target across the 90 minutes, with Senegal's stern defence standing firm to progress.

There was some controversy at the end of the 90 minutes, as tensions boiled between both benches, as to be expected in a game of that kind of magnitude.

A remaining positive for Egypt is that they beat the reigning champions Ivory Coast at the quarter-final stage, and that should give them confidence.

Nigeria boast a strong record against Egypt, boasting a 100% record in eight previous encounters of this kind.

Star strikers Ademola Lookman and Victor Osimhen will be the ones to watch, with the pair involved in everything positive the Super Eagles have done at the tournament.

Calvin Bassey, who was questionably booked against Morocco, is suspended for this one and will play no part.

Cyriel Dessers is also absent due to a thigh injury; however, Wilfred Ndidi returns from suspension after missing the semi-final defeat against Morocco.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Egypt 1-3 Nigeria

Nigeria pushed the hosts all the way, and we think it'll be them that come out on top in Casablanca.
