Nigeria - Cameroon: Form Analysis
Nigeria earned automatic qualification from Group A, which turned out to be a very surprising one. The Super Eagles and Ivory Coast were heavily fancied to compete for the top spot, but it was Equatorial Guinea that defied the odds to emerge as group winners. Nigeria drew with the National Thunder in their opening match but bounced back with back-to-back 1-0 wins over Ivory Coast and Guinea-Bissau, finishing behind Equatorial Guinea only on goal difference. Nigeria have now only lost once in their last 11 matches in all competitions while winning six and drawing four of the remaining ten games. Still unbeaten in this competition, Nigeria are the favourites heading into this one.
Meanwhile, Cameroon finished second in a far from straightforward Group C by the slenderest of margins. They ended with four points in their three matches, level with Guinea but with a better goal difference. The Indomitable Lions kicked off their AFCON campaign with a 1-1 draw against Guinea before they were comprehensively beaten 3-1 by the defending champions Senegal. It was a clutch final match for Cameroon, but they managed an incredible comeback to beat Gambia 3-2 with a stoppage-time winner from Christopher Wooh. That win was Cameroon’s first in their last five games, following three draws and a loss. While they are the outsiders here, the Indomitable Lions have avoided defeat in their last two matches against this opponent.

Nigeria & Cameroon Squad Analysis
Nigeria have no new injury concerns to deal with, and based on their performances in the group stage, we could see Jose Peseiro opt for an unchanged 11 on Saturday. The Super Eagles received an injury boost in the week with Alhassan Yusuf, who missed most of the group stages, returning to training, and he could be in line for selection.
In the opposite dugout, Cameroon received two massive injury boosts for the Round of 16, with their captain, Vincent Aboubakar, and winger, Clinton N'Jie, both being cleared fit for this crucial encounter. Both players missed all three group-stage matches due to injury, and it will be interesting to see if Rigobert Song tosses the skipper, in particular, straight back into the starting 11. Another area of interest will be in goal and around the involvement of Andre Onana, who was dropped for the final group-stage match.

Our Nigeria vs Cameroon Prediction
Nigeria were certainly the more convincing of these sides during the group stages, but Cameroon does have their captain back from injury, which will give them a much-needed presence at the top-end of the pitch. With a favourable semi-final draw ahead, both these sides are likely to attack this match, and we fancy there will be at least a couple of goals scored in this one. Our Nigeria vs Cameroon prediction: Over 1.5.
