He further anticipated that Ivory Coast and DR Congo would complete the last four, with the latter being the clear favourites to win the coveted trophy.

Olawale Olaniyan, a sports journalist with over a decade of experience covering African football, indicated that it is hard to predict the AFCON quarter-final correctly.

He told Legit.ng:

"To predict a particular team for laurels, will be a mistake as every team need to brace up. The last World Cup semifinalists, Morocco, and the like of Egypt, Cameroon, Ghana Tunisia, have all been sent packing. This edition has witnessed an unprecedented number of goals which has already surpassed the tallies from the past two editions."
