@kizilbige_ noted:

"This is easily the game of the tournament so far. Both sides have so much quality, it is going to be a battle from start to finish."

@BalliesAI added:

"Algeria needed extra time vs DR Congo, while Nigeria cruised. That inefficiency skews the edge to Nigeria’s 38% win probability. Our model favors a 2–1 Nigerian victory."

@Emegothefirst shared:

"The 2019 revenge tour starts now. No late Mahrez free kicks this time.Osimhen and Lookman are clinching this in 90 minutes!"

@Akinwande_AP stressed:

"Morocco 🇲🇦 vs Nigeria 🇳🇬 will be a good match to watch. But Nigeria 🇳🇬 vs Senegal 🇸🇳 in the final will be the best AFCON ending. I hope we prevail over the Algerian 🇩🇿 team."

@fiddy588 said:

"I think Nigeria wins easily. The form is tremendous and that would play a huge role. Morale and confidence is very high on the Nigerian side."

@MaliqRudz noted:

"I stopped listening when he said “right now Algeria are united” anything that ends with united or anything united is as.s."

@Lu_tnd said:

"We need to put Mahrez on lock down. And that goal keeper of Algeria needs to go. We are winning this."

@ChelseaplugCF noted:

"There's no competition there, it wouldn't really be fun to neutrals because Nigeria will make it a greatly one-sided affair, we are coming be scared!!"
