Nigeria, three-time Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) winners, displayed their prowess by defeating Cameroon 2-0 in the last-16, advancing to the quarter-finals, a step further than the previous edition. With a rich AFCON history, the Super Eagles are clear favorites to progress, especially considering their formidable record in AFCON quarter-finals since the introduction of the final eight in 1992 (W9, L1).

Head coach José Peseiro remains focused on the next game, emphasizing that all eight quarter-finalists are genuine title contenders. Despite being cautious about their chances, Nigeria's impressive run of three clean sheets in the tournament makes Peseiro confident about advancing, particularly as Nigeria has only failed to score in one of their last 12 AFCON fixtures at the finals.

Angola's recent encounter with Nigeria was in the 2018 African Nations Championship, where they lost 2-1 after extra time. However, in competitive settings, the full-strength national teams haven't met since the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification. Angola enters this AFCON quarter-final driven by their recent history, aiming for their first semi-finals appearance since 2010.

Angola, after recording their most successful group stage at an AFCON, secured a convincing 3-0 victory against Namibia, continuing their pursuit of a maiden semi-finals appearance. Their eight-game unbeaten run in competition football (W4, D4), including victories as pre-match outsiders, adds to their confidence for an historic triumph.

Key players to watch include Victor Osimhen for Nigeria, who has been impactful in both scoring and assisting. In my opinion, he is the best player of the tournament and is pushing for Player of the Tournament. I believe he can find the winning goal for Nigeria.

三届非洲国家杯(AFCON)冠军尼日利亚队在16强中以2比0击败喀麦隆队，晋级1 / 4决赛，比上届更进一步。凭借丰富的非洲杯历史，超级鹰队显然是晋级的热门，特别是考虑到他们自1992年引入八强以来在非洲杯四分之一决赛中的惊人记录(W9, L1)。

主教练何塞·佩塞罗仍然专注于下一场比赛，强调所有八名四分之一决赛选手都是真正的冠军争夺者。尽管对他们的机会持谨慎态度，尼日利亚在比赛中令人印象深刻的三场零封让佩塞罗对晋级充满信心，特别是尼日利亚在过去12场非洲杯决赛中只有一场没有进球。

安哥拉最近一次遭遇尼日利亚是在2018年非洲国家锦标赛上，他们在加时赛后以2比1输掉了比赛。然而，在竞争环境中，自2006年世界杯资格赛以来，两国国家队就没有见过面。安哥拉凭借最近的战绩进入本届非洲杯四分之一决赛，目标是自2010年以来首次进入半决赛。

安哥拉队在非洲杯小组赛中取得了有史以来最成功的成绩，他们以3-0完胜纳米比亚队，继续向半决赛迈进。他们在足球比赛中保持8场不败(W4, D4)，包括作为赛前局外人的胜利，增加了他们取得历史性胜利的信心。

值得关注的关键球员包括尼日利亚队的维克多·奥西姆亨，他在得分和助攻方面都很有影响力。在我看来，他是本届锦标赛中最好的球员，并且正在努力争取最佳球员。我相信他能为尼日利亚找到制胜球。
