Big Match Stats Pack: Nigeria v South Africa

There have been 14 previous meetings between the two sides over the years of which Nigeria have won seven compared to Bafana Bafana's two.
Five matches have ended in draws.

Bafana are, however, unbeaten against Nigeria in their last five meetings in all competitions.&nbsp;

Head-to-head 

Bafana have locked horns with Nigeria twice before in the Africa Cup of Nations.
However, they are yet to register a win at the tournament when coming up against the Super Eagles, having lost in both&nbsp;2000 (2-0) and&nbsp;2004 (4-0). .

Familiar foes

Odion Ighalo is Nigeria's dangerman.
The former Watford striker is the nation's top scorer in the competition so far and has also been&nbsp;involved in four of Nigeria’s last five goals in Afcon. He has&nbsp;scored&nbsp;three goals and provided&nbsp;one assist.&nbsp;

Ighalo the man to watch 

A worry for the three-time Afcon champions will be their tendency to concede goals.
Despite scoring five goals they have let in four goals in four games at Afcon 2019.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Nigeria's defensive frailties 

Eighty percent of Nigeria's goals have been scored in the final 30 minutes of their respective games, while Bafana have scored all their goals - against Namibia and Egypt - in that same period.&nbsp;

Both teams leave it late 

Unlike the majority of his predecessors, Baxter has a stellar record against Nigeria having masterminded two wins in all matches over their rivals.
He has also never lost to Nigeria in a competitive match despite returning for a second stint at the helm and facing off against Nigeria twice in the Afcon qualifiers.&nbsp;

Baxter - Bafana's lucky charm  

Nigeria boasts an impressive record at the continental showpiece.
They have won seven of their last eight Afcon games with their only defeat coming in the group stage of this year's competition where they lost to Madagascar 2-0.&nbsp;
