Speaking to Africa Foot, Joseph-Antoine Bell highlighted Nigeria’s attacking strength, with players like Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, and Moses Simon:
Let’s say, for me, Nigeria is a slight favorite. I say this because this team boasts an impressive attacking potential with Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, and Moses Simon, but they also show real power and are defensively solid.
Despite the 4-1 extra-time win over Gabon, the Cameroonian legend believes fatigue won’t be an issue and expects a tightly contested match:
That will have no effect. The players have had time to recover. I don’t know if there will be a lot of goals in this match, but I think the winning team will do so by a narrow margin.
The winner does not qualify directly for the World Cup, but will advance to the intercontinental playoffs in March 2026.
