Nigeria vs. Angola (Friday, 5.00pm)

Nigeria hope to avoid the poisoned chalice of the Africa Cup of Nations favourites tag when they face Angola in Friday's quarter-final at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium.

The Super Eagles defeated age-old rivals Cameroon in the round of 16 to outdo their AFCON 2021 performance, while the Palancas Negras eliminated inexperienced Namibia to make history by recording a first victory in the tournament's knockout stage.

We say: Nigeria 2-1 Angola

Friday should pose the sternest test to Nigeria's watertight backline, with Angola capable of hurting the West African nation in different ways.

Peseiro's men are expected to concede, but they should have enough at the other end to defeat the exciting Palancas Negras.

Congo DR vs. Guinea (Friday, 8.00pm)

Congo DR have made it to the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals without winning a game in regulation time, as they take on Guinea in Friday's encounter at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium.

The Leopards eliminated seven-time winners Egypt in the round of 16, while Syli National ended a losing run in the competition's first knockout by defeating Equatorial Guinea.

We say: Congo DR 1-0 Guinea

Both sides have scored three goals each at the finals, and this last eight tie could be decided by a lone goal, with the DRC eking out a marginal win over Guinea.
