Nigeria vs. Guinea: Where will the game be won and lost?

The duo meet in the semi-final of the ongoing U-17 Africa Cup of Nations with a place in the final at stake

Nigeria, record world champions at Under-17 level, head into Wednesday’s U-17 Africa Cup of Nations semi-final against Guinea as clear favourites.

The Golden Eaglets finished with seven points in Group A, topping the group ahead of Angola, and seem destined for a showdown with Cameroon in the final.

Beyond that, there is the fact that Guinea are not themselves powerhouses at this level, and were not expected to make much of an impression in Tanzania.
