The first match between Nigeria and Angola will be the first match of the African Cup of Nations (AFC Cup) last 8. Nigeria's "Super Eagles" are in hot form, and their defense is rock solid. Against the surging Angola, they will be more cautious, and with a small goal difference of 2.5 goals, they are a sure win. (Now 638 Saturday 1:00am live broadcast is not to be missed)
Observing the matches of the African Cup of Nations, we will find that the number of goals scored is generally on the low side. In the 36 group matches of this year, the number of goals scored in 21 matches does not exceed 2 goals. African players pay more attention to individual ability and ignore teamwork. The forward line is not organized enough and overly relies on individual skills, instead, it is easier to show strength in the defensive end. Nigeria's forward line has Vidal Ossenhan, Lukawin and other Serie A scorers, both have opened the record, but their defensive performance is more eye-catching, the last 7 games to keep 2 goals or less, this year's African Cup of Nations 4 games is to achieve 3 wins and 1 draw, only 1 goal lost, including the round of 16 to beat Cameroon with 2-0 easily, the performance of a solid.
Angola also won 3 and drew 1 of their 4 matches in this year's African Cup of Nations. Despite the limited strength of their opponents, the team is full of confidence and is getting stronger and stronger, so the "Super Eagles" have to be more vigilant. As a title contender, Angola will naturally be more cautious in the knockout stage, and as none of the last 4 meetings between the two sides exceeded 2 goals in legal time, the underdogs may be favored in this match.
