Former winners Algeria and Nigeria target a place in the finals when they face off in the second semi-finals of the Total 2019 Afcon at Cairo International stadium.
Algeria will take on Sadio Mane's Senegal for the title on July 19, in a repeat of a group stage clash they won 1-0.
Nigeria have played five matches in Egypt and their only defeat was a 2-0 loss to Madagascar in the group stage.
Both players are not expected to be fit for Sunday's clash.
Tunde Popoola, the Secretary-General of the Nigeria Olympic Committee noted that Nigeria had a slight advantage over Algeria which should count on Sunday.
"My target is to win the Africa Cup of Nations".
"Now, this is where experience really counts".
"For us we have great confidence in ourselves to go until the very end and I believe we can make a great feat for ourselves and our country".
"Its all about determination. Nigeria are always playing the leading role in the African Cup". "But I will see with the national team doctor", Feghouli said, according to Le Buteur. Nigeria also have the psychological advantage having beaten the North Africans in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, although the return leg ended one-all with Nigeria already qualified, Algeria were awarded a three-nil win due to Nigeria fielding a suspended player.
"We must be honest to ourselves in analysing our chances in this clash". We know they're a good side but we have a strong team too.
"They have the team".
