I don't know why I keep seeing this people like a big threat to us, the one certification I get as of we winning this match is just on our strong defense line, at least for them scoring should be a hard nut to crack but our forward is not yet on their best performance and we are expecting something different from them in this next match, a draw should not be any option, cos ending in penalty does not guarantee our chances of win.

I don't think the Super Eagles will have a comfortable win over the Sable antelopes. Nigeria has proved to have a very strong defence that has conceived just one goal but Angola has an attack that could be a threat to the Super Eagles. They can shoot long shots and this is the quality that other past opponents of the Nigerian side have lacked. Such long-range shots could rattle any goalkeeper but the team is also fortunate that Stanley Nwabali has been cleared to feature in today's game. But I hope he has fully recovered and is not on any pain reliever just to put him on the goalposts. It will be better to have a fit Francis Uzoho than an injured Nwabaki.

But if Frank Onyeka and Alex Iwobi continue with their great defensive play, they could limit these Angolian strikers from taking these dangerous long-range shots. Nigerians are indeed the favourite but it will not be an easy game for them because we have encountered many surprises in this nation's cups that should be a lesson that no team should be underrated.

It's hard to tell who will secure the win between the both countries as they all represent an Anti portion of themselves, Nigeria being the defensive one while Angola playing the attacking kind not also undermining their accurate pass, ball controls and pocession, I believe they are the worst threat Nigeria has faced since the beginning of the AFCON.

Today I am deciding to be optimistic about the Nigerian Super Eagles. I am basing my little optimism based on our past encounters with the Angolian team. See for yourself

The CAF African Cup Of Nations quarter final game between Nigeria vs Angola is without doubt one of the most talked about fixtures in the quarter finals. The two nations have been outstanding in the tournament so it's absolutely understandable that two many people are finding it difficult to predict the the outcome of the game but personally, I think the Super Eagles of Nigeria are going to progress to the semi-final ahead of their Southern African opponents. The Super Eagles have been the best team in the competition if you ask me and the fact that they have a world class striker like Victor Osimhen who's currently the best player in the African continent in their squad, it gives them an added advantage against other African teams in the competition

On the contrary, Nigeria have not been doing much of defensive game like you said rather they have been doing more of attacking as can be seen from their goal attempts per match. You can say that they are also defending well, the reason they have not conceded much goals but that does not mean that is all they do. Osimhen have been a huge threat to any of the teams they played, making several attempts on goals even those he has not been too lucky to score many goals in the tournament.

I have the believe that Nigeria have an edge over Angola in their encounter tonight but this will not come easy. At this stage of the competition, anything is possible just like South Africa defeating Morocco two goals to nil, no one saw that coming.

Nigeria vs Angola

Few moments before the start of this match, I took some time to read the latest posts here about this event to have an idea about who the favorite team who is going to have more chances to win the match.
Both teams have two different styles of playing and players, even with these odds which are preferable for Nigeria with a bigger difference, I believe these odds doesn’t matter much in this competition where most expected teams got eliminated like Senegal, Egypt, Morocco.

Beside that, I see a big community of Nigerian fans here and most of them are predicting that their national team is going to win the match easily against Angola even that their last encounters are not favoring anyone.

[Barikui1]

I expect this Nigeria vs Angola to be a very tough encounter between both teams, Because if you look at their head to head record and the form both of them are in right now, it shows that they have the ability to beat each other, even though the bookmarker favourite is the Nigerian team due to their rich history in the competition and the calibre of star players they have in their, but in other for them to win this game, they have to play more as a team because the Angolan team is really a force to contend with.

As of now the starting eleven are already out for both teams;
Nigeria: nwabali, osimhen, ekong, lookman, Moses, aina, bassey, onyeka, iwobi and sanusi.

Angola: gelson, Gilbert, show, fredy, agostinho , Jonathan, Augusto real, estrella, Eddie and kialonda

I am curious to see who will win the match as the winner will automatically be  qualified to semi final. Good to see everyone fit and strong for the match. Both teams players are complete and there is no one injured. My prediction in the game is quite awkward. Since i have decided to play both teams to score at the first half of the game. However, its football, my predictions may come out successful or not but whatsoever be the case i will be satisfied with the outcome.

By previous performance i would want Nigeria to win the match and gain victory, this is part of my patriotic feeling for my country. Currently am active watching the hame and i wont miss any part of the hame. Victory to all Nigerians

[AYOBA]

Nigeria opponent Angola, My people how una see  this lineup, this is the type of information Nigeria utilized to send Cameroon back to their homeland. Angola will regret why them y quarterfinals; let's wait and see if they can manage to get more than two shots on target. Based on the Super Eagles' current performance, I'm expecting more than two goals from Nigeria, therefore I know they can dominate positive outcomes.

Of a truth the both countries have 50/50 chances of qualifying for the AFCON semi finals though Nigeria seems to have upper hand judging from their previous meetings with Angola but regardless the both countries have same objectives as to win and qualify for the next stages so this is really going to be a tensed game because the both countries will definitely fight so hard in other to book a spot in the semi finals of this competition.

In FIFA rankings, Nigeria is in the 42nd position whereas Angola is in 117th position in the world FIFA rankings so this statistics shows that Nigeria is far better than Angola but nevertheless, it's not their rankings that's playing the match so let's watch as see how this game goes because any of the country that loses tonight, that would be the end of the tournament for the country. But hopefully Nigeria will win!

[Sim_card]

Lookman an has scored the first goal on the 41st minutes of the match with a superb finish after he received a beautiful pass from Moses. He was the player that also scored the first goal against Cameroon. Nigeria is playing a quality football compare to Angola and I believe that Nigeria is in the better position of winning this match and qualify to the semifinals. Angola was thinking that they could witbst9the pressure but unfortunately for them they could not stop Nigeria from scoring their first goal.

Nigeria 1-0 Angola.

[Woodie]

Hope am not late for any action here as I was catching up with the Asian games and game is in extra time with Australia almost winning that one but unfortunately South Korea got an equaliser to push for extra time..

Now locked in for the Nigeria-Angola game, and so far Nigeria has just taken the lead thanks to a lookman thunderbolt goal which looks like it could be what's sending them to the Semis and it's well deserved with the amount of possession they have enjoyed!!

And this being the AFCON, I wouldn't be surprised if the match ends as is (1-0) but to be on the safe side these guys need an insurance goal.

[ajanwalker]

I watched the first half of the Nigeria-Angola match. Angola could not exist. Nigeria was the side that dominated the ball more. Nigeria also scored the goal in an organized manner. Simon took the ball well from the left wing and Lookman hit the ball well with his left foot and Nigeria took the lead 1-0 in the 41st minute.
Nigeria made a few attacks again after this goal, but they could not make the last moves well.
Nigeria plays better football by far. If there are no surprises (Angola needs to change 1-2 players urgently) Nigeria will advance to the next round.

Too many predictions already about this game, also too many fake prophecy all around with the game this evening lol. I don't know what would be the outcome but every single player will have t work hard for himself and his team to make sure they end up with the qualifications Into the next round.

Nigerians when at home has gotten more wins and it's good to see they're taking the lead in the first half. Now we have the advantages of winning the game and it's in our hands to control.
They don't have to attack Angola too much, they just have to set up a defensive structure anf make sure they hit them hard with heavy counter attacks.

[Barikui1]

It's half time now in the encounter between Nigeria vs Angola, and the Nigerian team have been the dominant team so far, even though the Angolan team got a very good scoring opportunity in the early minutes of the game. So far, in the Nigerian squad everyone has been good except ajayi and iwobi that has been really poor too me compared to the qualities he has.

Though the Nigerian team started very slowly in this game, but they grew and start dominating the game as the game goes by, I just hope as a Nigerian that I am, we can hold on to our  lead, which will take us to the semi final of this year African cup of nations.

Nigeria showed a high level of seriousness in this match and they held their ground by not giving Angola any opportunity to create chances that will enable them to score the super eagles of Nigeria. It was a good game work from the front liners of the super Eagles for them to be able to break through Angola's defense and break the deadlock to take the lead.

Nigeria took possession of the game and they lost some good opportunities of finding the back of the post. Angola players tried their best, but it wasn't good enough to outperform the Super Eagles who are desperate of finding the back of the net by all means. Nigeria is very strong on their defense, and that might make it difficult for Angola to score them because Angola strikers are not that active to find a means of penetrating their opponent defense.

[Franctoshi]

What an entertaining first half play on the side of the super eagle team and I must admit that this year's AFCON competition is one of the best performing time for the super eagle team since after Steve Keshi's era, and I'm beginning to love their pattern of play from their last game in the round of 16 to today's performance, kudos to the team for such a great improvement, With this incredible performance so far,
other major team contenders in this competition will begin to get afraid to face them, and currently they are the best team to see final in the finals in my opinion.

The match is not even as toff as much as I expected just with our Nigerian players missing quite a few opportunity of scoring more goals. So far our defense line is pretty good and will be very difficult for the Angola players to penetrate, I hope they keep it up. My only concern is with our midfielders and strikers, much is still expected from them as their performance are really poor with the exemption of Oshimen whose performance is top notch.

Nigeria are playing to expectation with a very high spirit in this game unlike how we have seen Angola held other teams they had played against in this AFCON to a stand still it is different with in this game against Nigeria. Like you said, the Nigeria defence is good nothing giving the Angola's forwards to see a space to trouble the goal post with shots. Right now Nigeria is leading with a one goal and we hope they be able to secure or get more goals as they come back to the second half.

The scoreline is 1:0 as Nigeria graps the lead in the first half of the game,Angola has been so solid defensively,and wouldn't want to concede further goals because if they do,it's over for them,Nigeria have the best defence in the tournament,and therefore I'm not even sure if Angola will be able to get even a goal in this game,It might either end 2:0 in favour of Nigeria,or it might end like that.This is a game Nigeria players have really prepaid for,and for them to draw this game, especially now that they they have taken the lead,it will be a big  dissappointment to them.But I'm very confident on them winning this one to the semi final.

Both sides have been good but, Nigeria has been exceptional in this particular fixtures compared to all the games they’ve played in the AFCON so far. It’s not just entertaining but, seeing how both sides keeps going forward and how the Nigerian defense intercept the ball at every given advance at goal shows the level of determination they came with in this square fixture of the tournament.
Alex Iwobi have been maned the mid field so dominantly and what a great pass he delivered to Moses Simone who made the move to create that goal opportunity for Lookman, Nigeria has just best there game in this quarter finals, no question.
