As the game gets underway, fans have taken to social media to have their say on who will triumph. Many fans feel Nigeria will emerge victorious after 90 minutes.

Having missed the 2018 edition staged in Russia, Ghana are eyeing a return to the global football showpiece. Albeit, they must negotiate their way past the Super Eagles.

Otto Addo's men go into this fixture off the back of their worst Africa Cup of Nations performance where they finished at the bottom of their group without a single win.

Regardless, some feel they will get things right against the three-time African kings.

Who will win this African classic? Let us know in the comments.
