In football statistics affects the mentality of all players no doubt about it....take Nigeria Vs Argentina for example.
Anytime we face them in world cup I believe everybody has one outcome on their minds why?

Because history would show we have never beaten them before so you can't say stats won't affect players it affects them all the time.
Another case is Drogba against Arsenal.

Guinea cannot possibly beat Nigeria by any stretch of the imagination...today's match is just about how many... I'm so confident if I had money I would put everything on the super eagles today cause it's a sure banker.

The Favorites


Ivory Coast and Nigeria are the overwhelming favorites in Group A. The track record speaks for themselves, both teams have a combined five AFCON titles and share more similarities than most. Ivory Coast’s first title came the edition before Nigeria’s second, while their second triumph came exactly after Nigeria’s third triumph. The last time Les Elephants hosted the AFCON? Four years after Nigeria hosted and won their first-ever African title.

The fixture between both sides on Matchday 2 will carry significant weight, with many tipping the winner to go on and finish group winners. They have enjoyed classic encounters too. Sunday Mba’s beauty in the 2013 quarter-finals in a game where everyone wrote off the late Stephen Keshi’s Eagles. Who would forget Salomon Kalou’s mazy dribble and finish back in 2008 against Berti Vogts’ Super Eagles? How about Joseph Enakahire misjudging the flight of the ball, and leaving Didier Drogba one-on-one with Vincent Enyeama in 2006?


It proved to be Jay-Jay Okocha’s swansong, An appearance off the bench to salvage what was left only that it wasn’t salvageable. How about Rashidi Yekini’s special moment in 1990? Or Michel Bassole and his brace in 1994, which almost stopped Nigeria from earning a place in the final. The evidence that this fixture may have come full circle however is that both sides clashed in 1980, when Nigeria hosted the tournament and it ended up goalless. Segun Odegbami, Adokiye Amiesamaka, Christian Chukwu, Adama Konate and Laurent Pokou (whom the 2023 AFCON ball is named after), lined up on the day. Legends, the lot of them. This one would certainly produce more.

The Wildcard
Should anything go wrong for the two favorites in Group A, the most likely beneficiaries would be Equatorial Guinea. The Nzalang Nacional are attending their fourth AFCON, and boy, have they made a mark. Coached by the wily Juan Micha Obiang, they have always advanced from their AFCON group. Their worst finish is a quarterfinal berth, achieved in 2012 when they co-hosted and in 2021 in Cameroon. They even finished fourth in 2015 when they hosted the tournament. It is not beyond the realm of imagination that a team that has aided the eliminations of past champions like Algeria, Tunisia and Senegal would not repeat the trick.

The Upstarts
It’s now three consecutive AFCONs for Baciro Cande and Guinea Bissau. They are no longer a surprise package. They are yet to win an AFCON game though, and have three points from a possible 27. They have averaged two losses per tournament, and it seems the more things change, the more they have remained the same, or maybe not. Franculino Dju headlines the attack for FC Midtjylland and is a dangerous prospect. Mama Balde struck the only goal in an upset win over Nigeria in Abuja in March 2023. Moreto Cassama is beginning to look like who they thought he would be. Perhaps a familiarity with these opponents is beginning to yield results. A wild dog is on the prowl.

If you are an ardent football follower,you won't take historical trend to determine outcome of a football match. In football, jinx get broken, records are set and shattered and obviously you are not a seer to know when this events will occur. I remember in 2020 while I was watching Arsenal vs Burnley ,i remember the commentator saying Burnley has never won a match on arsenals's ground in their history but unfortunately Burnley left the Emirate with 3points that faithful day .
But It seems you are in high spirit already,and as a Nigerian I hope super eagle come out victorious as well,but till then we can only hope, nothing is certain like death and taxes.
