Nigeria’s Super Eagles, who have won all five games and crushed every opponent, are in form coming into the semifinals. Despite having won only three AFCON matches, the Eagles have advanced to the competition’s final 16 on 16 occasions.
Although Morocco would be dangerous, the Super Eagles and Atlas Lions have a 50/50 chance of winning.
What makes the Atlas Lions a threat?
One of the most tactically disciplined teams in Africa is Morocco. Their defense plays out of the back with ease, is compact, and has good coaching.
Morocco has excellent technical quality. Their midfielders are pretty good at holding onto the ball, regulating tempo, and making opponents chase. Nigeria struggles to defend for extended periods.
Morocco’s home advantage over Nigeria is a crucial element that cannot be disregarded. There has been tremendous fan support ever since the competition began. The crowd pressure, refereeing dynamics, and atmosphere would greatly favor the Atlas Lions.
