In a tournament that's been kryptonite to the favorites, Nigeria have managed to find an antidote. The Super Eagles have won three games in a row since an opening round draw with Equatorial Guinea. Victor Osimhen may not have hit the goalscoring heights thus far, but the Napoli forward's work rate is such that he's still very dangerous. Ademola Lookman has played himself into Jose Peseiro's XI and rewarded his manager with both goals in the last 16 defeat of Cameroon.
Angola had never managed more than one victory at the same AFCON before the tournament began, but the Palancas Negras have rewritten the form book. Gelson Dala is the tournament's joint-highest marksman with four goals after notching a fine brace in the 3-0 last 16 rout of Namibia and the former Rio Ave forward will need to be at his best if he's to elicit another upset in this competition of chaos.
With a semi-final against the winner of South Africa vs Cape Verde up for grabs, both sides will be going all out for victory. Read on to learn how you can get the Nigeria vs Angola live stream action – and watch other AFCON 2023 games for free – wherever you are.
