AFCON 2025 reaches boiling point on Wednesday night as hosts Morocco face Nigeria in a high-stakes semi-final at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium.
It is a clash between the tournament’s most prolific attack and its most disciplined defence.
Nigeria arrive with momentum few can match. The Super Eagles have won all five of their matches, scoring freely and rediscovering authority after missing out on the 2026 World Cup.
AFRICA PICKS: Morocco vs Nigeria – AFCON bets to bank on
Eric Chelle’s side have looked ruthless, balanced and confident, with attacking depth that has overwhelmed opponents.
Morocco, backed by a passionate home crowd, have been equally impressive. The Atlas Lions have conceded just once all tournament, combining control, patience and defensive organisation to edge past every challenge so far.
History leans Morocco’s way in recent meetings, but Nigeria’s current form suggests this semi-final could rewrite the script. With a place in the final on the line, expect intensity, emotion and a contest shaped by fine margins.
