Can the "African Eagles" maintain their overwhelming advantage over Mozambique? Nigeria has been in good form recently, with six wins, three draws and one loss in the last ten matches across all competitions, showing strong competitiveness in the Africa Cup group stage. Mozambique's recent form has been more volatile, with only three wins, one draw and six losses in ten games, and there are some defensive problems.

Nigeria host Mozambique in the Africa Cup of Nations on 5 January 2026, Nigeria arrive at this AFCON knockout tie with momentum and attacking confidence, having won all three group matches. Mozambique have shown ambition going forward but defensive lapses continue to define their campaign. Nigerias AFCON performances show a side growing stronger with each match. They scored eight goals across three group games, including a 3-1 away win over Uganda and a 3-2 success against Tunisia. Those results underline Nigerias ability to push the tempo and sustain pressure even when conceding. Across the tournament, Nigeria have scored at least twice in every match. Conceding four goals shows some defensive vulnerability, but it has not disrupted their control of games. Against Tanzania and Tunisia, they responded quickly after setbacks, maintaining attacking intent rather than dropping deeper. Recent head-to-head meetings with Mozambique also favour the Super Eagles.

South Korea U23 VS Iran U23 The current head coach of South Korea's U23 team is Lee Min-seong, who has only trained the team seven times. He previously coached Daejeon Citizen. However, he had a rather negative experience there, so he didn't call up any players from Daejeon Citizen. Before the game, the South Korean team has some injury issues. Young defender Kim Ji-su is injured. However, three players who didn't participate in the training camp, Kim Yong-hak, Kim Tae-won, and Shin Min-ha, are still eligible to play. It's quite surprising that Choi Woo-jin of Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors was left out of the squad. Let's take a look at what the data analysts think. South Korea U23 has not been performing well in recent Asian tournaments. They suffered a heavy defeat to Saudi Arabia and were even held to a draw by Indonesia, which is far from an ideal performance. Iran's youth team has a well - planned training schedule. They have participated in numerous friendly matches among different coun

Japan U23 VS Syria U23 Many of the players on the Japanese team in this tournament are still in college, and there is only one player, Toyotaka Michiwaki, who was playing overseas. In fact, he can't really be considered playing overseas anymore because he is about to return and join Fukuoka Hornets. However, the Japanese team is still led by head coach Tsuyoshi Oiwa in this tournament. The selection of players for this tournament is also an effort for the upcoming Los Angeles Olympics. The Syrian team is not actually a weak one. Let's take a look at what the data analysts think. Japan U23 usually uses the Asian Cup as a training ground, which has been the practice in the past few editions and is well - known to many players. Syria, on the other hand, has real U23 players mainly from local league teams, such as mid - level clubs like Al - Karama and Al - Damascus. From a fundamental perspective, Japan's situation isn't ideal. Syria has a good image in this game, having performed excelle

Uzbekistan U23 VS Lebanon U23 As we all know, the head coach of the Uzbekistan Olympic team, Karpaze, has been poached by their senior national team. After the departure of this renowned coach, the performance of the Olympic team has become highly inconsistent. In last year's U-23 Asian Cup qualifiers, they were held to a draw by Kyrgyzstan, and they even lost to Qatar in a friendly match. They no longer have the confidence to claim the championship. For this U-23 Asian Cup, many key players of Uzbekistan are overage, so a large number of players in the midfield and frontline have been replaced. Fortunately, Fayzullaev has joined the team. Uzbekistan won the championship of this event in the past. Moreover, their senior national team qualified for the World Cup. So, they will be over - hyped in this game. Lebanon's strength is relatively weak among West Asian teams. However, they performed well in the qualifiers and even drew with Thailand, a team with good strength at this age group.
