A social media user who claims to have correctly predicted all the quarter-final results in the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) has now turned his attention to the semi-finals, forecasting a dominant victory for Nigeria's Super Eagles against hosts Morocco.
TikTok Prophet Backs Super Eagles for Convincing Win
The man, who uses the TikTok handle @08footyyarns, shared his latest predictions in a video. He began by boasting about his previous success. "Every single thing that I predicted about the quarter-finals, everything happened that way," he stated confidently.
Moving to the highly anticipated clash in Rabat, he did not mince words about his expectations. He directly addressed Moroccan supporters, saying, "I don't even want to talk too much, let me just advise Moroccans. Nigeria will beat you. Ah, see, Nigeria will flog you."
He dismissed past results between the two nations as irrelevant, emphasizing that the current form of the players is what matters. While acknowledging Morocco's significant home advantage at the packed Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, he remained steadfast in his support for Nigeria.
Names of Likely Goal Scorers Revealed
The predictor went beyond just picking a winner; he named the specific Super Eagles players he expects to find the back of the net. He boldly claimed that striker Victor Osimhen and winger Ademola Lookman would both score in the semi-final encounter.
He also addressed rumours of potential external pressures on the match officials, a common concern in high-stakes games. "Listen, they can do dark arts, but I am telling you Osimhen will score, Lookman will score," he asserted, showing unwavering faith in the Nigerian attack.
His analysis concluded with a challenge to the Atlas Lions. "I don't know how you are going to keep Nigerian players from scoring. It's either you outscore Nigeria. That is the only way Morocco will beat this Nigeria team..."
Prediction for Other Semi-Final and Fan Reactions
The TikTok user also analyzed the other semi-final match between Senegal and Egypt. Despite praising the Egyptian side, he predicted that the Senegalese team would emerge victorious and advance to the final.
His predictions have sparked intense debate among football fans online. Some users agreed with his assessment, with one commenter, UK's brown, predicting a final between Nigeria and Egypt, with the Super Eagles lifting the trophy.
However, others strongly disagreed, pointing to Morocco's formidable home record. User Zirif ? countered, "Hey smart guy, Morocco haven't lost in 38 consecutive home games, not even to Brazil." Another user, B.C.Eli, expressed concern over Nigeria's missing starters and potential referee bias.
The match is scheduled for Wednesday, January 14, at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat. As the date approaches, the predictions and counter-arguments continue to fuel excitement and tension among supporters of both nations.
