Which Team Will Likely Play Against Nigeria In Afcon 2023 Round Of 16 by Facetoface(m): 4:12pm On Jan 23
Nigeria's most likely opponent in the round of 16 of AFCON 2023 is Guinea. However, there are still some scenarios that could change the picture:

Current situation:

Nigeria finished second in Group A.
Group C, which determines Nigeria's opponent, has two matches remaining:
Senegal (6 points) vs. Guinea (4 points)
Cameroon (1 point) vs. Gambia (0 points)
Most likely scenario:

Guinea needs a win against Senegal to clinch second place and face Nigeria.
A draw or Senegal win would keep Senegal in second and set up a match with Guinea against Mali.
Less likely scenarios:

Cameroon could leapfrog Guinea into second place with a massive win against Gambia and a Senegal win by a very large margin against Guinea. This is highly unlikely though.
Gambia could upset Cameroon and potentially qualify as one of the best third-placed teams, but again, this is improbable.
Therefore, with the information available as of today, Tuesday, January 23, 2024, at 4:00 PM WAT, Guinea is the most likely opponent for Nigeria in the round of 16. However, stay tuned for the matches in Group C on Tuesday to see if the picture changes.

I hope this clarifies the situation!
