POLL: Will South Africa break Nigeria Afcon jinx?

South Africa go into Wednesday’s Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final clash against Nigeria knowing a victory will secure a spot in the last four.

Bafana Bafana reached this stage following a shock 1-0 win over hosts Egypt, while the Super Eagles produced an incredible comeback to send Cameroon packing.

This encounter at the Cairo Stadium will be the third meetings between these sides at Afcon, with Nigeria boasting of a 100% record.

Worse still, the one-time African champions have failed to score against their West African foes in either of those matches.
