AFCON 2024 Nigeria vs Angola Team News
Nigeria’s Rising Confidence:
Expectations were low initially, but after defeating their arch-rivals Cameroon, Jose Peseiro’s men are dreaming of their fourth AFCON title. Ademola Lookman’s brace against Cameroon highlighted their attacking potential, while Victor Osimhen’s tireless work ethic proved invaluable. Their solid defence has only conceded once in four games, making them a tough nut to crack.
Angola: Underdogs with Bite:
Few expected Pedro Goncalves’s Angola to top Group B, beating Algeria and others. Their free-scoring form has seen them net nine goals, with Gelson Dala and Mabululu contributing seven. They know how to upset established teams, having denied Nigeria a World Cup spot in 2006.
