AFRICA PICKS: Nigeria vs Mozambique – AFCON bets to bank on
Mozambique arrive as one of the tournament’s surprise packages, reaching the knockouts as a best third-placed side and claiming their first-ever AFCON win with a dramatic 3–2 victory over Gabon.
Confidence is high, but history and quality both lean heavily Nigeria’s way, with Mozambique yet to record a win over the Super Eagles.
Nigeria have conceded in every group match, which leaves the door open for chances at both ends, but their firepower remains decisive. Africa Picks expects goals, with Nigeria’s superior attacking options likely to edge a lively knockout encounter.
