Cameroon needs to defend better
The Cameroon national team needs to become strong in defense, the team conceded a lot of goals in the group stage and thanks to their good offense they had no problems, but if they continue to advance, the level will increase.
Nigeria is already at the stadium

Nigeria needs more goals
The Nigerian National Team needs to generate more dangerous chances in order to score more goals, this team only scored one goal in each of the three group stage matches.
Cameroon among the best teams
Cameroon is not far behind in terms of relevance in the continent, this team is among the top winners of the African Cup of Nations, with a total of five titles, ranking in the top 3.
Nigeria at the African Cup of Nations
The Nigerian National Team has accumulated three African Cup of Nations championships, being in 2013 the last occasion in which they lifted the title, in this edition they certainly have the team to fight in the final, but before that they have to overcome the big test against Cameroon.

Cameroon needs to perform better
The Cameroon National Team could be considered as one of the powers among the African nations, the level of their players has led them to compete in the World Cup on multiple occasions, Qatar 2022 being the most recent, this team certainly has to be respected, because their players are in a constant clash at the highest level with their teams, for this African Cup of Nations, the team did not have a perfect performance as expected, Cameroon scored four points from the three matches and that left them as second in the group, already in this phase of direct elimination, mistakes can not be allowed, as they could cost them to advance to the next round, their opponent will not be easy to beat and Cameroon knows it, so their players must give a great game and not forgive the opportunities created by the opponent.
Nigeria wants to win
One of the most recognized African teams worldwide, has everything to take this edition of the African Cup of Nations, this team has always had players of great level, but now has experienced players and with a winning mentality, certainly not getting the title would be a great failure for them, the constancy of this team in qualifying for the World Cup, In this edition of the tournament they have had a great performance and are undefeated at least in the group stage, there are few details to be adjusted for the team to advance to the next rounds, Nigeria is one of the favorites to play in the final and staying in the round of 16 is not an option.
Duel of two favorites
The African Cup of Nations is already in its elimination phase and the duels of the round of 16 will be more than entertaining, one of the games that attract the most attention is Nigeria vs. Cameroon, two very competitive teams that seek to win the title, but undoubtedly have a difficult test to advance to the next round.
