Nigeria vs South Africa
Nigeria’s Super Eagles are poised to take an early advantage against South Africa’s Bafana Bafana in the Africa Cup of Nations semi-final. With momentum from previous victories and a versatile playing style, Nigeria aims to exploit South Africa’s lack of scoring prowess. Led by striker Victor Osimhen, Nigeria is expected to dominate both halves of the game and secure a victory within regulation time, unless South Africa’s goalkeeper Ronwen Williams delivers an exceptional performance.
Verdict:
In four out of their five matches at the AFCON 2023 tournament, Nigeria has been leading at halftime, a trend that includes both of their knockout stage matches. Conversely, South Africa has struggled to find the net in the first half in four out of five games during this tournament, indicating a deficiency in their offensive prowess.
Tip: We expect Nigeria to Win ❌ or Under 2.5 Goals ✅

Congo DR vs Ivory Coast
The semi-final match between Ivory Coast and Congo DR in the AFCON 2023 tournament is expected to be closely contested. Ivory Coast, under Emerse Fae’s management, has displayed resilience with penalty shootout and extra-time victories. Congo DR, with three of their matches ending in score draws, poses a challenge.
Sebastien Desabre’s Ivory Coast team, despite their talented squad, faces uncertainty against Congo DR, who have demonstrated tactical prowess. Both teams have shown scoring potential, making a bet on both teams to score a favorable option given their previous knockout games ending 1-1.
Verdict
In Ivory Coast’s recent two matches, both teams have scored, notably since Emerse Fae took interim charge. Similarly, in four out of Congo DR’s last five games, including their two knockout matches, both teams have found the net.
