Match context
Algeria's Fennec Foxes snuck past DR Congo in a tense Round of 16 clash, thanks to a 119th-minute winner from Adil Boulbina. Vladimir Petkovic's team were far from its best, but we often say this about top sides advancing through the latter stages of major tournaments. Algeria have only conceded one goal at the tournament, and skipper Riyad Mahrez has three goals to his name. Manchester City's Rayan Ait-Nouri provides danger, thrust and playmaking ability with his modern interpretation of the left-back role, while Zinedine Zidane's son Luca will stand in goal.

Standing in Mahrez's way of another AFCON winner's medal is a star-studded Nigeria team, spearheaded by Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen. The former Napoli man scored a double against Mozambique to take his tally in the tournament to three goals. Atalanta attacker Ademola Lookman also has three strikes to his name and will want to push Osimhen all the way for the Golden Boot. A midfield pivot of Wilfred Ndidi and Frank Onyeka provides a platform for Fulham star Alex Iwobi to pull the strings for dangerous Sevilla striker Akor Adams and the relentless running of Osimhen.

With 12 goals so far, and quality dotted throughout their side, the Super Eagles look well-placed to claim their first AFCON crown since 2013. Both sides have scored in six of their last seven matches, though, so spectators could be in for a treat.
Injury updates
Algeria will rue the potential absence of midfield general Ismael Bennacer, who came off against DR Congo. Houssem Aouar is already sidelined, and Feyenoord striker Anis-Hadj Moosa is suspended.
