Okocha picks Algeria/Ivory Coast as next AFCON champions

Ex Super Eagles captain Austin Jay-Jay Okocha has come out with his predictions on who he feels would go on to win the 2015 AFCON In Equatorial Guinea. 

Considering that the reigning AFCON champions Nigeria, won't be there to defend her crown Jay-Jay opined that he doesn't expect any surprises, but still envisage a tough championship. 

"Algeria has a strong chance of passing in the quarterfinals. I would say that Algeria has the opportunity to win the African Cup. We saw the face that the team of Algeria presented at the last World Cup’’

Jay-Jay also tipped the elephants of Ivory Coast as possible winners despite their underachievement over the years.  "Ivory Coast, for some time, is one of the favorites. The Ivoirians have a team of talented players. I do not understand how they manage to miss each time they try. Maybe 2015 will be good for them".
