2023 AFCON: Nigeria Likely To play Guinea, Cameroon Or Senegal In Round of 16

By Sampson Adedeji

The likely opponents of Nigeria's Super Eagles in the round of 16 of the African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast may be decided on Tuesday, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Super Eagles of Nigeria finished in second position in Group A with 7 points despite beating Guinea Bissau on Monday.

Although the Group C table may change this evening to place any of the second-placed sides from Group C, which will be Senegal, Guinea or Cameroon, in the last 16 fixture against Nigeria.

According to the fixtures for the next round, the runner-up in Group A will play the team that finish second in Group C which Guinea currently occupy. 

Only a Guinea win over Senegal may change the equation as it presently stands and lift the Syli National to the top of the table while the Teranga Lions swap places with Guinea as the next opponents of Super Eagles on Saturday.
