OGC Nice striker Terem Moffi, recently added to Nigeria’s AFCON roster, has predicted a defeat for Côte d’Ivoire in their upcoming group game against Nigeria at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium in Abidjan on January 18, 2024. Moffi, stepping in for the injured Victor Boniface, expressed sympathy for Chelsea youth product Jeremie Boga, who plays for the Ivorian team, stating, “I always tell him they will lose at home to Nigeria. I feel sorry for them, for him.”

While Moffi is expected to miss Nigeria’s opener against Equatorial Guinea, he could make his Africa Cup of Nations debut in the crucial clash against Côte d’Ivoire. The OGC Nice striker, a prominent figure in the French Ligue 1, boasts an impressive record of 46 goals and 12 assists in 119 matches.
