A place in the semi-finals of the African Cup of Nations will be up for grabs when Nigeria takes on Angola at the Felix Houphouët-Boigny Stadium in Abidjan. Nigeria defeated Cameroon 2-0 in the Round of 16 and their performance in general in this competition have been very well. With just one defeat in their last ten games, they head into this contest as the favourites but it is more about which side hold the composure in big games such as these. Angola brushed aside Namibia in their Round of 16 encounter, which was a big statement from the side. Having won twice in the group stage as well, the morale of the squad is high.
