Nigeria - Ivory Coast: Form Analysis
Nigeria have already secured a victory against the Ivory Coast at this tournament, narrowly defeating them 1-0 in the group stages. The Super Eagles have already surpassed pre-tournament expectations, advancing to their first Afcon final since 2013. Nigeria's journey to the final commenced with a 1-1 draw against Equatorial Guinea, followed by four consecutive wins without conceding a goal. This set the stage for a semifinal clash with South Africa. Nigeria appeared poised for another victory and clean sheet until Teboho Mokoena's 90th-minute penalty for Bafana Bafana forced the game into extra time and, eventually, penalties. Despite the pressure, the Super Eagles remained composed from the penalty spot, securing their sixth AFCON shootout victory, a feat that could prove advantageous in what promises to be a closely contested final. The Super Eagles are currently on an impressive unbeaten streak of six matches, and they have emerged victorious in three out of their last five encounters against the hosts.
Ivory Coast have advanced to the final, marking the first time in 18 years that the host nations of the competition have reached the last two. The Elephants' journey to the final on home soil has been far from straightforward, though, and included a record 4-0 home defeat to Equatorial Guinea, the dismissal of a head coach mid-competition, a remarkable victory over the tournament favorites, and a dramatic quarter-final triumph. Their 1-0 semi-final victory over DR Congo was perhaps their most straightforward match since the tournament's commencement, positioning them just 90 minutes away from a fairy-tale conclusion to their AFCON campaign. Interestingly, five out of the last six host nations to reach the final have ultimately lifted the trophy, but most bookmakers have the hosts down as underdogs in this one.

Nigeria & Ivory Coast Squad Analysis
Nigeria have no new injury concerns for this match as Victor Osimhen, who was a doubt for the semi-final, has been cleared fit and will lead the line for the Super Eagles on Sunday. Ola Aina, Moses Simon, and Calvin Bassey all avoided bookings during the semi-finals and are, therefore, eligible for selection in the upcoming match. A player to watch in this match is Ademola Lookman, who has scored three times already in this competition and registered at least a shot on target in each of their matches during the knockout stages.
The Ivory Coast were finally able to get Sebastian Haller up and running in this competition as the Borussia Dortmund man got his first goal in the tournament last week in the side’s 1-0 win over DR Congo. The Elephants will also be boosted by the return of Serge Aurier, Odilon Kossounou, and Oumar Diakite, who are set to come back after serving their suspensions in the last round of the competition.
