Nigeria
Despite Osimhen's profligate finishing at the finals, Monday night's news of the Napoli striker's abdominal discomfort has stunned supporters, as neither Terem Moffi nor Kelechi Iheanacho have received game time all tournament.
Regardless of the African Footballer of the Year's eventual availability, Peseiro is expected to stick to his 3-4-2-1, with Lookman and Moses Simon supporting Moffi, Iheanacho or Paul Onuachu if Osimhen does not feature.
Nigeria could lose Simon, Ola Aina or Calvin Bassey to suspensions in a possible final if anyone among the trio is booked on Wednesday.
Nigeria possible starting lineup:
Nwabali; Ajayi, Troost-Ekong, Bassey; Aina, Onyeka, Iwobi, Sanusi; Simon, Lookman; Moffi
South Africa
At the risk of missing out on a potential final for South Africa are Aubrey Modiba, Grant Kekana and Mothobi Mvala following their yellow cards against Morocco in the round of 16.
Like the Super Eagles, Broos's men have not conceded since their tournament opener against Namibia, and the AFCON 2017-winning manager is not expected to change the backline that has kept opponents out in four consecutive games.
South Africa possible starting lineup:
Williams; Mudau, Kekana, Mvala, Modiba; Mokoena, Sithole; Morena, Zwane, Tau; Makgopa
Prediction: Nigeria 1-0 South Africa
