Looking at the performance statistics, Ivory coast got a high percentage advantage in performance over Nigeria which shows that nigeria would have to go back to their drawing board to put more effort in their training against their next encounter otherwise they would not likely get it cool like the other matches they have played with their opponent.
Ivory Coast performed better than Nigeria today, Nigeria was simply lucky to get the advantage over them. I find it hard to comprehend the strategy Nigeria was trying to play, they weren't playing professionally, they were just ballooning balls anyhow.
Anyway, congrats to them, and hopefully they'll work even harder in their next game.
I have no idea who is going to win this AFCON, and I didnt have good results with my predictions of this competition.
There are lot of surprises in many groups but I expect Ivory Coast as host to go far, but today defeat from Nigeria was not going in their favor.
Egypt and Ghana didnt win a single match so far so both of them need a win for next stage.
it is very difficult to predict which country will win the AFCON, Because it's becoming more competitive and interesting.
I believe ivory coast still have a better chance of qualifying. If they can play well win their next game.
