Fresh off a  stunning semifinal victory against Gabon, where they dominated with a jaw-dropping  4–1 scoreline, the Super Eagles are brimming with confidence! Star striker Victor Osimhen stole the spotlight with his two brilliant goals, proving he’s a force to be reckoned with. Meanwhile, Chidera Ejuke’s dazzling plays electrified the pitch, breathing life back into a team that had recently struggled. Can the Eagles maintain this momentum and soar into the World Cup?

But wait! The DR Congo squad isn’t to be underestimated. They eked out a narrow win against Cameroon, showcasing a disciplined defense and lightning-fast counter-attacks. With powerhouse players like Cedric Bakambu and Nathaniel Nbumku leading their charge, the Congolese are gearing up to throw a wrench into Nigeria's plans. Will the Super Eagles falter under pressure?

On paper, Nigeria is the clear favorite, flaunting a squad packed with talent, including the likes of Akor Adams, Alex Iwobi, and Benjamin Frederick.
