This Nigeria vs Morocco na correct contrast of style. Super Eagles don win all five matches dem play so far, score 14 goals, dey play with full confidence and freedom.
Under coach Eric Chelle, Nigeria dey mix power, speed and sharp passes well-well, led by the strong understanding between Akor Adams, Ademola Lookman and Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen.
Morocco own journey different but e still strong. Walid Regragui boys don concede only one goal in five games, and none from open play.
Dem dey control space, keep discipline and dey make chances hard to see. Na pure attack vs defence match.

This match go test both squads, but bad news be say Super Eagles no go get captain Wilfred Ndidi, as dem suspend am after second yellow card.
Raphael Onyedika go likely replace am, as the guy get energy, dey run forward well and don already score two goals for this tournament.
Bright Osayi-Samuel dey doubt too after e limp comot last match, while Cyriel Dessers don completely rule out. Ryan Alebiosu don return to training but e no likely feature.
For Morocco side, dem go miss Azzedine Ounahi and Romain Saiss, but dem get big boost as Achraf Hakimi don declare fit. Him presence dey help both defence and attack.
This go be the sixth time Nigeria and Morocco dey meet for AFCON, and the first time in 22 years.
