A mammoth Africa Cup of Nations clash in the last-16 takes place today, when Nigeria meet Cameroon.

But the rumours surrounding their camp and a set on uninspiring performances make them the underdogs to reach the quarter-finals, where Namibia or Angola will lie in wait.
The Indomitable Lions will be keen to avenge their defeat to Nigeria at this stage of the 2019 AFCON, whereas it was the Super Eagles who were ousted by Tunisia in the last-16 two years ago.
