Algeria and Nigeria face each other at Stade de Marrakech in a highly-anticipated AFCON quarter-final. As the Super Eagles look unstoppable at the showpiece tournament in Morocco, our prediction points toward a 2-1 away win. Algeria eliminated D.R. Congo in the last 16 after extra-time, but their performance was anything but promising. The nominal hosts are eyeing their fourth clean sheet of the tournament, but their defence should struggle against Nigeriaâs splendid attack. Both Aouar and Hadjam are injured for the Greens, while trio Bennacer â Chergui â Tougai is rated doubtful.The Nigerians, on the other hand, rolled over Mozambique 4-0 to set up a meeting with Algeria in the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals. Eric Cheleâs men have been averaging 3.00 goals per game at the tournament, meaning that Away Team Over 1.5 goals bet should be considered. As always, a man to watch in the away team will be Victor Osimhen, who has netted three goals at the 2025 AFCON so far. Forward Cyriel Dessers remains in the recovery room, but the Panathinaikos man is not regarded as a first-team regular.
