Many Nigerians have said they’re optimistic that the Super Eagles will triumph in the quarter-finals of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) against the Bafana Bafana of South Africa in Egypt.
In an opinion poll by PM News on Twitter, football fans also believed the Nigeria team would face a tricky and tougher encounter in the match.
The Super Eagles got the quarter-finals through a 3-2 win over their eternal rivals, Indomitable Lions of Cameroon, at the Alexandria Stadium in Egypt. While the Bafana Bafana got a 1-0 surprised win over the host Pharaohs of Egypt in the round of 16.
It is on record that the Super Eagles had failed to beat Bafana Bafana during the qualifiers as the first meeting at the Nest of Champions in Uyo went the way of the Baxter side.
Tekelo Rantie and Percy Paul goals condemned Nigeria to defeat while the return leg in South Africa ended one goal a piece.
In the post, many fans predicted Nigeria will win 2-1 against South Africa.
