The semi-finals of the African Cup of Nations, which is being held in Ivory Coast until next Sunday, pitted 4 former winners of the continental championship title. Tomorrow, Wednesday, Ivory Coast will meet the Democratic Republic of the Congo at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium, while Nigeria will face South Africa.
According to Opta, the Green Eagles team has become a 43% candidate to win the title since defending champion Senegal was eliminated from the final stage. South Africa went from having a 2.1% chance of lifting the cup at the beginning of the tournament to being among the three remaining teams.
