The Nigerian vs Sudan game just started and Nigeria is already ahead by a goal from Chukwueze! wow. I predict a game full of goals and enough action for the super eagles, still my favourites to win this AFCON. I don't Sudan can bounce back from this early goal against them, the Nigerian team is on fire. I don't just hope we win the game, but also keep a clean sheet.

Nigeria should take the 3 points home easily now. It will be interesting to see Egypt later. They are much stronger than Guinea, however they are also forced to score some points after their loss in the first game, which might give them quite some pressure. Hopefully we'll see some goals here as well and not again the good old 1-0

currently Nigeria has a 1-0 lead over Sudan through a goal scored by Samuel Chukwueze in the 3rd minute if the score continues until the end of the match then it is certain to advance to the quarter-finals of this season's African Cup of Nations because they have 6 points and a match The third match against Guinea will only be limited to finding out who will win the group, and the Egypt vs Guinea match will be a life and death match for Muhammed Salah and his friends if Egypt does not win the match against Guinea then it can be said that the chances are very small for them to win. qualified for the round of 8 where they lost 1-0 to Nigeria in the previous match, the second match is usually very crucial for each team to win the match so they can more easily advance to the next round

Sudan will hear from the Nigeria team as the supper Eagles have hard a successful first half of the match and have not given up in my 5-0 score prediction in favor of Nigeria 🇳🇬.
The first half was so exciting seeing how the Sudan player score the home goal, Nigeria added another goal 5 seconds into the second half, the scoreline has changed 3-0 now.

I think nigeria are trying right from the first match with Egypt they did very well. Today with Sudan they already scored 3 goals that shows they already have big chance of winning the game. Nigeria is going in the way of Manchester city in the afcon game . Ķudus to Chukwuze to me he's the man of the match.

Comparing Nigeria with Manchester city is a actually an exaggeration, regardless I am proud of what the Nigerian team is doing in this year's African cup of nations, the sacking of the super eagles head coach and appointing a replacement well is yeilding results, Nigeria is now part of the hot favorite to win the competition, but they don't need to have the heads swollen, and just stay focused on the target which is the title.

From onset I don't think the Sudanese stand a chance of winning the match, they tried atleast to concede only 3 goals against a well organized and star-studded Nigerian side, Moses Simon was always a thorn in a flesh on Sudanese defenders, Nigerian team would surely go far in this competition if the are consistent with this performance,  however the Sudanese tried their best scored a consolation goal and has a point with a match against Egypt on Wednesday.

Its very tough to score in this tournament even vs poor teams the big teams struggle to score.

It was a wonderful match, just as I was expecting that Nigeria will win the match,  it all started from the first half with Nigeria having 2 goals while they both played 1 - 1 in the second half. Nigeria is now having 5 points clear.

Try to post good posts because what you just posted have been discussed before, now we are seeing more goals, you can see Morocco won 3 to 0 yesterday and Nigeria 3 to 1 today. There are more goals coming now.

Egypt is not able to score so far against Guinea Bassau and that is a big threat to their campaign in the tournament,a draw or even worse another lost game here it is goodbye for them from this tournament and they were big favorites to win the tournament before the tournament started.I believe they are going to win against Guinea Bassau and have a chance at their last game in order to pass the group stage and be a big name in this tournament,at least I really hope they do so.

So far Egypt beside keeping possession of the ball is not showing any dangerous gameplay and they are not able to build good actions which lead them to scoring,hopefully this changes in the second half.

We are well into the 2nd half now and it's still 0-0 The odds are down to a mere (slightly above) 50% that Egypt will win this game with quotes of 1.75-1.8 now. If they aren't able to win it will be already an endgame for them in the last game of the group stage. Nigeria on the other side is already qualified for the final round after their win and I think they will come far this tournament

[Newlifebtc]

The Egyptians was held to a first half draw with the score nil nil.
The goal just came in from the Liverpool superstar Mo Salah.. First ever goal in the African Cup of Nations tournament.
One more is needed to secure a bet slip,this should better end positively for me.

Egypt still managed to win and Salah scored the only goal in the match. But Egypt's performance really casts doubt on their status as the favourite, if other teams played well then one could say that Egypt is no longer the favourite. By the way, if Egypt had completed its performance at the tournament following the results of the group stage, then I don’t know if Salah would be happy or upset

one is another game that has a lot of goals and this is not a good thing, if we look at how many games a day they make that end with few goals we can easily see that the situation is far from changing, in fact I doubt that the situation will change. this is due to the poor quality of the players and even the players who are in the big teams are not giving 100% of themselves because they cannot get used to this type of game where the ball is always in the air

If hitting the post was considered as goals then Egypt will have at least two in the first half
I didn't follow the whole game but seeing a part of it I find that Egypt played better and the defence of Guinea-Bissau is weak.
So far only 3 teams confirmed their presence in the next stage: Cameroon, Morocco and Nigeria.
Ivory Coast could be the 4th to pass by tomorrow in addition to one of Gambia or Mali.

[Rruchi man]

Egypt still managed to win and Salah scored the only goal in the match.

Even if the Egyptian team does not look like a team that will get too far in the AFCON regardless of the win, i'm still happy for Mo' Salah that he was able to get his name on the score sheet for his country. He would have come under heavy criticism if he lingered in this competition without getting a goal to his name, especially coming in from Europe in such fine form.

It will be tough game against Sudan in their next game, it will be a decidal for both teams. For the super eagles team, this is one of the best super eagles team we have had in while, the players playing together with so much determination to win, i hope they don't disappoint in the knockout stages. Super eagles for the win!

[Alisha-k]

It always boils down to one thing; can they defend this winning and stand a chance to win the trophy or is it just temporarily?
I don't know why African football is totally different from the European football and even most advanced countries too..
First of all,they should be very thorough rehabilitation on every aspect of their games seriously, it sometimes doesn't interest anyone to watch except for competitions like these. ., Another thing is having an understanding of what you're doing; you don't just play because you're playing football (maybe they have been told these things several times but they don't value it)being very calculative and artistic is the main point of the game accuracy and dribbling skills are acquired as the training increases....

To be honest, I don't expect them to win their first game against Egypt, and from my research about their game. They seem to be doing a wonderful job lately but we still need to wait and see where it will all end.
Having said that, Morrocco seems to be one of the teams to look out for the tournament because they win every game back to back but it is sad that they are not included in the poll provided by the OP.

It was a great game and impressed that they also had several goals as compared to the others which are fond of producing not more than one goal!
And am pretty sure Nigeria is among the favorites to win the afcon as they are a pretty good team just not sure if the current crop of players is the same that played well against Argentina...

[Smartvirus]

Nigeria just pushed through to the next phase with this game today. Although, this wasn't the game that really the game that made the decider, it was the game with Egypt. Its supposed to be the most difficult game but Nigeria won with ease I must say. They didn't play half the game they played with Egypt against Sudan else, the goals would have come in there numbers. Nigeria 3-1 Sudan is okay but, it could have been morehouse Nigeria have applied more pressure.

Anyway, Kudos for the Nigerian team to have put smiles in the faces of citizens and even Cameroonian fans once again, 2 wins in a role its a cool way to go at the moment.

[Pokapoka124]

This Nigeria team is really on for a show this time around, you can feel the  energy and hunger when they play, they always want to be on the ball and get the goals and for me that is a really  good way to start tournament. I know it is a bit too early but they are already my favorite in winning this tournament and I hope it goes well for them. Moses Simon has been really fantastic in the midfield for Nigeria in the past 2 games and getting a goal today will indeed help in boosting his confidence in games to come, the Nigeria defense has been superb as well in getting the defensive job done.
