The bookmaker’s favourites might be thinking about Nigeria’s threat right now as they have won 3 and drawn one in four games played in the AFCON.
The Super Eagles dominated and made Cameroon less dangerous on all angles last night in Abidjan with a superb 2-0 win that has secured a quarter-finals berth for the in-form Nigeria.
Victor Osimhen has sent a huge warning to the teams left in the 2023 AFCON as he thinks Nigeria has not reached their full potential yet.
“I can’t lie, we haven’t played the best of our football yet”, said Osimhen
The 24-year-old Napoli forward has been impressive in the ongoing AFCON even though he has scored just a goal but has been extremely dangerous as defenders have struggled to deal with his pace and aggression.
The Super Eagles are now serious contenders after beating Cameroon and Ivory Coast who were considered huge favourites before the AFCON.
Nigeria won 2-0 against Cameroon in a crunch clash in Abidjan on Saturday night with a brace from Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman.
