Match preview

Nigeria are looking like the team to beat, winning all five games at the tournament, scoring 14 goals in the process. An impressive 2-0 win over Algeria in the quarters, thanks to goals from Galatasaray superstar Victor Osimhen and Sevilla striker Akor Adams, was marred by a booking for skipper Wildred Ndidi, who now misses the semi-final after an accumulation of cards. Osimhen has four goals in the tournament, while both he and Adams also have two assists to their names. However, the Super Eagles will have to be at their brilliant best in attack to hurt the hosts.
