The Super Eagles of Nigeria would lock horns with AFCON host Morocco on Wednesday as both sides jostle for a place in the finals of the tournament.
Playing against the host nation at this crucial stage of the tournament seems a big task ahead, especially given the history of the team versus host nations.
Overall, both in the group and knockout stages, the Super Eagles have only won three times in the last ten 10 meetings against host nations, drawing three and losing four in the process.
