Ahead of the commencement of AFCON quarter-final matches, an white man, Jordan Buhrs, has dropped his semi-final predictions.
On Friday, February 2, Nigeria will battle Angola and DR Congo against Guinea while the other quarter-final fixtures on Saturday will see Mali face Cote d’Ivoire and Cape Verde slug it out with South Africa.
In a TikTok video, Jordan analysed the performance of each of the teams before releasing the possible scorelines of the four matches and the teams that would scale through.
Jordan's predictions worry Nigerians, others
In the first match between Nigeria and Angola, Jordan tipped Angola to qualify for the semi-final.
While admitting that Nigeria is coming on the back of a nice two-nil win over Cameroon, Jordan said Angola has been in really good form, which was further confirmed with their three-nil win over Namibia in the round of 16.
Jordan predicted the game to end in a one-all draw or win for Angola. He predicted a one-all draw with Congo qualifying in the DR Congo-Guinea match.
For Saturday matches, he said Mali would beat Cote d’Ivoire by a lone goal or a draw and added that Cape Verde would play a draw with South Africa, but the Bafana Bafana would make it to the semis.
