The staff for Madagascar vs Tunisia
For Nigeria, the usual captain John Obi Mikel should make his return to the starting 11 after his absence in the round of 16. The incumbents seem well identified in this very experienced selection. Goalkeeper Akpeyi is protected by a central hinge composed of Troost-Ekong and Omeruo and a very efficient recovery duo, Ndidi-Etebo. In front, the wingers Musa and Iwobi will be responsible for feeding good balloons forward center Ighalo, which scored a doubled against Cameroon.
For South Africa, only 6 elements evolve out of the domestic championship. The coach should renew his confidence to players who have imposed against Egypt. Thus, the defensive midfielder Amiens Zungu should be aligned as well as winger Mokotjo (Brentford) and playmaker Tau (St Gall). The Strasbourg Mothiba should again be aligned alongside Lorch (Orlando Pirates).
