Nigeria
Nigeria are sweating over the availability of Stanley Nwabali — deputising for the erratic Francis Uzoho at the finals — with the goalkeeper withdrawn after sustaining an injury against Cameroon, although the Chippa United shot-stopper trained on Tuesday.

However, the Super Eagles trained without William Troost-Ekong on Monday and Tuesday, with the vice-captain troubled by the thigh problem that kept him out of the final Group A game against Guinea-Bissau.

Osimhen, Lookman and Moses Simon should play up top, as Peseiro is not expected to change tack in the competition's quarters.
Nigeria possible starting lineup:
Nwabali; Ajayi, Troost-Ekong, Bassey; Aina, Iwobi, Onyeka, Sanusi; Lookman, Simon; Osimhen

Angola
Apart from Mabululu and Dala, Fredy's three assists have been pivotal for the Palancas Negras, while Gilberto poses a threat with his unpredictability.

Angola must do without the suspended Neblu, sent off after 17 minutes against Namibia for handling the ball outside his penalty area.
Angola possible starting lineup:
Signori; Afonso, Gaspar, Buatu-Mananga, Carneiro; Fredy, Snow, Estrela; Gilberto, Mabululu, Dala
Prediction: Nigeria 2-1 Angola

The hardest hurdle. If we win today, we'll win the tournament. Osimhen with a double and Lookman to add one too. Nigeria 3 Angola Nil or 1
