The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2023) will finally come to an end after almost a month of mouthwatering fixtures.

Nigeria vs Ivory Coast will go toe-to-toe with each other on Sunday February 11, as both teams set their sights on the Nations Cup title.

Who will emerge victorious after it's all said and done?

In this article, we'll provide Nigeria vs Ivory Coast TV options, whilst taking a look at the probable lineups for both sides.

Predicted Nigeria vs Ivory Coast lineups

Emerse Faé will be pleased to have Odilon Kossounou and Oumar Diakité back in action. Both players served a one-match suspension, and were unavailable for Ivory Coast's semi-final clash with DR Congo.

In like manner, José Peseiro will be able to call upon the services of Zaidu Sanusi, after the Porto player was sidelined for Nigeria's semi-final encounter with Bafana Bafana.

A 3-4-3 formation has worked well for Peseiro, so he's expected to adopt the same formation.

Meanwhile the Elephants of Ivory Coast will likely line up in a 4-3-3 formation.

On that note, these are our predicted Nigeria vs Ivory Coast lineups:

Nigeria

Goalkeeper: Stanley Nwabali.
Defenders: Calvin Bassey, William Troost-Ekong, Semi Ajayi.
Midfielders: Zaidu Sanusi, Alex Iwobi, Frank Onyeka, Ola Aina.
Strikers: Ademola Lookman, Victor Osimhen, Moses Simon.

Ivory Coast

Goalkeeper: Yahia Fofana.
Defenders: Wilfried Singo, Willy Boly, Evan Ndicka, Ghislain Konan.
Midfielders: Franck Kessié, Jean Michaël Seri, Seko Fofana.
Strikers: Max Gradel, Nicolas Pépé, Simon Adingra.
