After a month of exciting events, the final of the African Cup of Nations will take place on Sunday at the Olympique Alassane Ouattara in Abidjan.

Barcelona-Granada. Javi does not lose hope
Despite a leadership change mid-tournament, Ivory Coast are one step away from victory, and Nigeria will be hoping to ruin their celebrations this weekend.
The Super Eagles have won the African Cup of Nations three times, most recently in 2013, while the Elephants did so for the second time in 2015. Who will add another trophy to their collection?
Nigeria secured their place in the final with a penalty shootout victory against South Africa. After the tie in regulation time, the result was decided only in the penalty shootout. The “super eagles” were luckier.
After a 1:1 draw with Equatorial Guinea in the opening match, José Pezeiro’s team achieved four victories in a row, beating the Ivory Coast team on the 2nd day of the group stage by 1:0.

“Nice” – “Monaco”. It’s time for Golovin to move up
Looking at the bigger picture, Nigeria have lost only 1 of their last 14 matches in all competitions, so they will be confident of victory on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Ivory Coast secured their place in the final with a 1-0 win over Congo on Wednesday, with Borussia Dortmund’s Sebastien Haller scoring the winning goal.
After losing two of three matches in the tournament’s group stage, conceding five goals, the Elephants fired Jean-Louis Gasse, leaving Emers Fahe as interim coach.
However, Ivory Coast managed to qualify for the round of 16, beating Senegal and Mali on the way to the semi-finals, but after regular time.
Although Ivory Coast averages one goal per game in African Cup of Nations matches, they concede 1.2 goals per game, highlighting their defensive inconsistency.

Milan – Naples. Kvaratskelia will step aside
Nigerian Ademola Lookman scored three goals and one assist in six tournament games, while star forward Victor Osimhen contributed one goal and three assists.
As for the Elephants, Seko Fofana and Franck Kessier scored a goal and an assist, making them likely to start in the final.
With Nigeria and Ivory Coast surprisingly evenly matched, the final looks set to be a close affair.
We predict that teams may end up tied in regulation and require overtime or penalties to determine the winner. Bets on this outcome are accepted at 2.75.
Tender: tie for 2.75.
