&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers&quot;&gt;Pittsburgh Steelers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; are facing the &lt;strong&gt;Houston Texans&lt;/strong&gt; in the Wild Card round as they look to advance deeper into the &lt;strong&gt;NFL &lt;/strong&gt;playoffs, with veteran quarterback &lt;strong&gt;Aaron Rodgers&lt;/strong&gt; set to lead the effort. On the other sideline, the Texans are preparing extensively to slow down one of the most accomplished passers the league has ever seen, fully aware that Rodgers remains the centerpiece of Pittsburgh’s offense.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Texans defensive coordinator Matt Burke has been clear about the challenge Rodgers presents&lt;/strong&gt;, even in his 21st NFL season. Burke acknowledged that despite Houston’s strong secondary, Rodgers still has the ability to take control of a game with his arm and decision-making. Preparing for his precision has been a central focus of the Texans’ game plan.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“He still looks about the same,”&lt;/em&gt; Burke said, via Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. &lt;em&gt;“He still has a deadly arm. One of the biggest separating factors for me is the accuracy. He can put the ball wherever he wants it, whether it’s a back-shoulder throw, down the field, or over the top. &lt;strong&gt;We have to be disciplined with our leverage and coverage responsibilities&lt;/strong&gt;.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Texans’ confidence is supported by numbers. Their secondary ranked among the league’s best during the regular season, &lt;strong&gt;allowing just 185.4 passing yards per game&lt;/strong&gt;, the &lt;strong&gt;sixth-fewest in the NFL&lt;/strong&gt;. Houston also finished top seven in yards per pass allowed and posted the third-lowest opponent completion percentage, showing consistent discipline on the back end.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;How Aaron Rodgers enters the playoffs&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers&quot;&gt;Rodgers&lt;/a&gt; enters the postseason playing some of his best football of the year. Over his final five regular-season games, he averaged &lt;strong&gt;247.2 passing yards per contest&lt;/strong&gt;, threw one touchdown per game, and did not record an interception. During that stretch, the Steelers went 4-1, doing enough to secure the AFC North title and a late Wild Card berth.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/aaron-rodgers-reveals-if-he-regrets-decision-to-join-steelers&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

        

        


&lt;p&gt;Throughout the season, Rodgers’ passing efficiency has closely mirrored Pittsburgh’s success. In the Steelers’ 10 regular-season wins, he averaged 220.5 passing yards with a 70.7 completion percentage. In their&lt;strong&gt; seven losses, those numbers dipped to 186.2 yards per game and a 57.7 completion rate&lt;/strong&gt;, underscoring how vital his accuracy has been to the team’s performance.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;The Steelers and Rodgers are ready for Houston&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Rodgers has not shied away from reflecting on the Steelers’ journey to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl&quot;&gt;NFL&lt;/a&gt; postseason. &lt;strong&gt;After starting 6-6 and facing widespread doubt about their playoff chances&lt;/strong&gt;, the veteran quarterback believes the team has found its rhythm at the right time and is ready to make noise in January.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“At 6-6, a lot of people thought we were going to stumble to the finish,”&lt;/em&gt; Rodgers said. &lt;em&gt;“There was talk about Mike Tomlin and the direction of the team. It feels good to quiet that down. Now it’s a clean slate. Anyone can make a run. &lt;strong&gt;We’re one of the hottest teams right now, and we’re playing much better football than earlier in the season&lt;/strong&gt;.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Andy Reid gave a new update on &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes&quot;&gt;Patrick Mahomes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and his knee injury with the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs&quot;&gt;Kansas City Chiefs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. The head coach was very optimistic heading into the 2026 season, as he stated that the star quarterback has gotten off to a very good start in his recovery process.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“He’s doing great for just being three weeks out or so. He’ll go ahead and most likely stay up here for the majority of the time rehabbing. He’s been just in there grinding. I mean, that’s what I can tell you. I think that will just continue until we get started again. Not that he won’t take a break here or there, but right now he’s in that early process where you got to really hit it hard. It’s not necessarily a fun thing to do every day.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Mahomes was injured in the Week 14 game against the Chargers while he was leading a late epic comeback to keep the Chiefs’ &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl&quot;&gt;Super Bowl&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; hopes alive. Gardner Minshew took his place but was unable to secure the win, and as a result, they were eliminated from the playoffs.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Will Patrick Mahomes play in 2026?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Yes. Patrick Mahomes is expected to play in 2026, as his estimated recovery time is nine months. That puts him in position to be ready right at the start of next season.&lt;/p&gt;


        

        


&lt;h2&gt;What is Patrick Mahomes’ injury?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Patrick Mahomes suffered a torn ACL in his left knee. The positive news, according to Andy Reid, is that the quarterback began rehabilitation immediately, since the first few weeks are crucial for shortening the recovery time. &lt;em&gt;“The important thing is that you show up and you keep coming back for more. He’s been doing that.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

NFL News: Andy Reid confirms Patrick Mahomes key injury update for 2026 season with Chiefs

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs&quot;&gt;Kansas City Chiefs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; are preparing for an offseason with many changes. Andy Reid knows it is very likely that he will lose several members of his coaching staff, despite the team failing to qualify for the playoffs.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;One of the most coveted names on the market is Matt Nagy, who has scheduled interviews in his pursuit to become head coach of teams such as the Tennessee Titans, the Arizona Cardinals, and the Las Vegas Raiders.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;However, as the days go by, more personnel are receiving opportunities to upgrade their roles elsewhere. Undoubtedly, this could compromise Reid’s chances of winning next year, but in the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl&quot;&gt;NFL&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, change is inevitable.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Did Chiefs fire their head coach?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;No. The Chiefs did not fire their head coach, Andy Reid, and the legend is expected to return for the 2026 season. However, it has been revealed that a member of his staff could be headed to the NFC East.&lt;/p&gt;


        

        


&lt;h2&gt;Is Andy Reid’s coach leaving the Chiefs?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Joe Cullen, one of Andy Reid’s coaches, could leave the Kansas City Chiefs to sign with the Washington Commanders. Dan Quinn is searching for a defensive coordinator, and according to a report by Mike Garafolo, Cullen is a leading candidate.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/andy-reid-officially-confirms-if-head-coach-will-leave-chiefs-in-2026-for-another-team-or-retirement&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“The Commanders have interviewed Chiefs DL coach Joe Cullen for their vacant defensive coordinator job, source said. He is a long-time D-line guru and was previously the Jaguars DC.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;During the 2025 NFL regular season, the &lt;strong&gt;Carolina Panthers&lt;/strong&gt; stunned the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-rams&quot;&gt;Los Angeles Rams&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Now, the two teams are set to &lt;strong&gt;meet again in the 2026 playoffs&lt;/strong&gt;, and head coach &lt;strong&gt;Sean McVay has made one thing clear about that costly loss&lt;/strong&gt; to Carolina.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In Week 13, the Panthers shocked the league by defeating the Rams. Now, the teams will face off again in a &lt;strong&gt;win-or-go-home scenario&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.co+m/en/topic/sean-mcvay&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;McVay&lt;/a&gt; knows Los Angeles cannot afford to repeat the same mistakes they made in that matchup.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“They did a great job,”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; McVay said of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Panthers&lt;/a&gt;‘ win in Week 13. &lt;em&gt;“They made the plays to win the game and we came up short. We had our chances but there’s a lot of learning opps. There’s a lot of &lt;strong&gt;learning opps&lt;/strong&gt; even when we’ve gotten the results we wanted in those 12 wins we had. But this was a good,&lt;strong&gt; humbling day&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;“&lt;em&gt;You don’t take away anything — &lt;strong&gt;they earned that win&lt;/strong&gt;, but we do have a very clear understanding of what’s going to be required for us to be at our best, to do the things that are necessary first and foremost starting with ourselves, and then geared toward the opponent and the scheme. &lt;strong&gt;Our players have a lot of respect for these guys.&lt;/strong&gt; We’ll be ready to go, but we know what a great challenge it’ll be.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;The pressure is on the Rams&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;For their 2026 Wild Card matchup against the Panthers, the Rams are listed as 10.5-point favorites. &lt;strong&gt;Los Angeles is clearly the more talented team on paper&lt;/strong&gt;, but this is not a game they can take lightly.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Rams finished the regular season with a 12–5 record, while the Panthers went 8–9. However, &lt;strong&gt;Carolina will host the playoff matchup&lt;/strong&gt; after winning their division, giving them a &lt;strong&gt;home-field advantage&lt;/strong&gt; that could play a significant role in the outcome.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/panthers-hc-dave-canales-sends-clear-message-to-bryce-young-ahead-of-first-nfl-playoff-appearance&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;For many fans, it is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Super Bowl&lt;/a&gt; or bust for the Rams&lt;/strong&gt;, while expectations are far lower for the Panthers. That imbalance puts enormous pressure on Sean McVay’s squad, as a loss to a team with a losing record would raise serious questions about whether Los Angeles was ever truly a championship contender.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Is Matthew Stafford retiring after the 2026 NFL playoffs?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Before the 2025 NFL season, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matthew-stafford&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Matthew Stafford&lt;/a&gt; agreed to a two-year, $84 million extension&lt;/strong&gt; with the Rams. However, his future could hinge on how far Los Angeles goes in the playoffs.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;According to rumors, the &lt;strong&gt;37-year-old quarterback could consider retirement&lt;/strong&gt; depending on the postseason outcome. Stafford could either walk away from the game with another Super Bowl title—or return for one final run with the Rams in 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

After all, &lt;strong&gt;John Harbaugh&lt;/strong&gt; was fired by the &lt;strong&gt;Baltimore Ravens&lt;/strong&gt;. Now, the team is interviewing a former &lt;strong&gt;Shedeur Sanders&lt;/strong&gt; coach to see if he is the one to take the mantle.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;After &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/lamar-jackson-could-get-new-hc-fast-as-ravens-completed-interview-with-possible-john-harbaugh-replacement&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;interviewing one of the hottest offensive coordinators in the NFL as a possible replacement for John Harbaugh&lt;/a&gt;, the Ravens are keeping other candidates on their mind. Hence, &lt;strong&gt;they interviewed Kevin Stefanski for their head coaching vacancy.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/john-harbaugh&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Harbaugh&lt;/a&gt; had a very good tenure on the Ravens, but his era was done. The team and him weren’t able to achieve the success wanted in the last couple of years and &lt;strong&gt;it seems like his relationship with Lamar Jackson deteriorated.&lt;/strong&gt; Hence, it was time for a change.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Stefanski is one of the best coaches available&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A two-time Coach of the Year, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kevin-stefanski&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Stefanski&lt;/a&gt; was trying to make miracles in Cleveland and actually succeeded twice, hence his accolades&lt;/strong&gt;. However, this season he had to deal with a quarterback carrousel that included the highly-polarizing &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Shedeur Sanders&lt;/a&gt;. Just as Harbaugh with the Ravens, Stefanski and the Browns were done with each other after this season.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/04153226/HC-Kevin-Stefanski-of-the-Cleveland-Browns-2026-1920x1080.webp&quot; alt=&quot;HC Kevin Stefanski of the Cleveland Browns (2026)&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-556449&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;HC Kevin Stefanski of the Cleveland Browns (2026)&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;A brilliant offensive mind, Stefanski’s playbook is deep in developing the running game. &lt;strong&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Ravens&lt;/a&gt; are one of the most prolific running teams in the league thanks to Jackson and star running back Derrick Henry&lt;/strong&gt;. Therefore, Stefanski could make this an even bigger offense. It’s a perfect fit.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/browns-could-steal-justin-herberts-key-chargers-coach-to-lead-shedeur-sanders-as-head-coach&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;Stefanski is proven in many ways&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;While the Browns organization was a circus at times, Stefanski always rode a tight ship. At least while the front office didn’t override him. &lt;strong&gt;Stefanski, if signed by the Ravens, would enter a solid organization and culture&lt;/strong&gt;. His only task would be winning football games. No distractions.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Stefanski has worked with adversity before. &lt;strong&gt;Here, he’d work with expectations&lt;/strong&gt;. He’d also work in a division he knows very well. In the end, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Browns&lt;/a&gt; and Ravens are AFC North foes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Business&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.” That’s what &lt;strong&gt;Tarik Skubal&lt;/strong&gt; posted after a $13 million gap separated him from the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-lions&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Detroit Tigers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; in the salary arbitration session. This is, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN, “&lt;em&gt;by far the largest [gap] in salary arbitration history and sets up for a fascinating hearing in February&lt;/em&gt;.” &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;That one-word response makes everything crystal clear. &lt;strong&gt;If the Tigers want to lowball Skubal, he won’t hesitate to take the same approach and leave the team&lt;/strong&gt;. In the end, business is the main thing in contract negotiations, loyalty is sometimes thrown out of the window.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Skubal would be, and already is, one of the most sought-out players in the MLB. &lt;strong&gt;He is the reigning, two-time American League Cy Young, and he is up for grabs&lt;/strong&gt;. That doesn’t happen every day. Even with all that, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/ny-yankees-switch-attention-to-two-players-with-tarik-skubal-trade-reportedly-unlikely&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;it seems like the Yankees are switching attention to other pitchers&lt;/a&gt;. The price is a hefty one, but Skubal is in his prime.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Skubal is as elite as it comes&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Skubal had a 2.21 ERA in 2025, which is just an insane feat. That’s the reason why he is a back-to-back Cy Young winner, &lt;strong&gt;something an AL pitcher hadn’t achieved since Pedro Martinez. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/27180949/Tarik-Skubal-1920x1080.webp&quot; alt=&quot;Tarik Skubal #29 of the Detroit Tigers &quot; class=&quot;wp-image-249261&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Tarik Skubal #29 of the Detroit Tigers &lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Skubal had 241 strikeouts and 13-6 record in 195.1 innings, while leading the AL in WAR&lt;/strong&gt;. His strikeout-to-walk ratio was elite too, at 7.3. In fact, the Tigers went 21-10 with him starting. If that doesn’t highlight his top-tier impact, then nothing does.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/mlb/mlb-insider-reveals-the-ny-mets-preferred-contract-approach-for-framber-valdez-vs-tarik-skubal&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;The Tigers are really screwing it up&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Detroit had a good season in 2025, reaching the ALDS and losing in five games to Seattle. Losing Skubal is not only missing out on the chance to improve that feat, but &lt;strong&gt;also compromising hugely the future of the franchise&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;6961b2f683cd5ad944865c15&quot; data-title=&quot;Should the Tigers pay what Skubal is asking for?&quot; data-options=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Philadelphia Phillies&lt;/strong&gt; remain active during the offseason as they look to properly support &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bryce-harper&quot;&gt;Bryce Harper&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; ahead of the next &lt;strong&gt;MLB &lt;/strong&gt;season. However, one former player from the organization, now a free agent, is hit with a significant setback after being suspended for 80 games for violating Major League Baseball’s drug prevention and treatment program.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;MLB announces that Max Kepler tests positive for epitrenbolone, a performance-enhancing substance. Kepler, 32, spends the 2025 season as a platoon outfielder for the Phillies, posting a &lt;strong&gt;.216/.300/.391 slash line with 18 home runs and 52 RBIs across 127 games&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Kepler played ten &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb&quot;&gt;MLB&lt;/a&gt; seasons with the Minnesota Twins before signing with the Phillies ahead of the 2025 campaign. Despite &lt;strong&gt;limited production and a .691 OPS last season&lt;/strong&gt;, he returns to free agency, but the suspension prevents him from appearing during the first half of the upcoming season, significantly impacting his availability.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Throughout his career, Kepler profiles as a reliable corner outfielder and could have served as &lt;strong&gt;a secondary option once elite targets like Kyle Tucker and Cody Bellinger move off the board&lt;/strong&gt;. That possibility now fades, as his suspension severely reduces market interest and limits roster flexibility for interested teams.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; data-id=&quot;559290&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/09203505/max-kleper-1920x1080.webp&quot; alt=&quot;Max Kepler during a Philadelphia Phillies match.&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-559290&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Max Kepler during a Philadelphia Phillies match.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What the Phillies are targeting&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Several teams that consider Kepler now pivot toward other free-agent options. The market still offers veteran corner outfielders such as &lt;strong&gt;Starling Marte, Randal Grichuk, and Mike Tauchman&lt;/strong&gt;, all capable of providing power and experience. The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-phillies&quot;&gt;Phillies&lt;/a&gt; already addressed that profile by signing Adolis Garcia following his release from the Texas Rangers.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/mlb/phillies-secure-11-million-deal-sidestep-legal-issues-while-ryne-staneks-reported-pursue-continues&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

        

        


&lt;p&gt;The New York Mets &lt;strong&gt;also remain active in their search for outfield help after trading Brandon Nimmo&lt;/strong&gt;. With no guarantee of landing Bellinger or Tucker, New York looks for alternatives within a manageable payroll range. Kepler once fits that description, but the suspension makes him an impractical solution for a team seeking immediate production.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;The Phillies’ situation with Bo Bichette&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Beyond roster construction, the Phillies &lt;strong&gt;make headlines with a notable coaching addition from the Toronto Blue Jays&lt;/strong&gt;. Don Mattingly officially joins the Phillies as bench coach, a move that could indirectly aid their pursuit of Bo Bichette in free agency.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, &lt;strong&gt;Mattingly maintains a strong relationship with Bichette&lt;/strong&gt;, which could prove influential during negotiations. While coaching hires rarely determine nine-figure contracts, the connection adds another layer to Philadelphia’s offseason strategy as the market continues to evolve.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-dodgers&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Los Angeles Dodgers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; saw &lt;strong&gt;Kiké Hernandez&lt;/strong&gt; provide big time in the postseason. However, as he recovers from a left elbow surgery, he remains unsigned. Althought there is interest in keeping him in LA, there is no agreement yet, but the champs signed another utility player which might make the situation very cloudy.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Per the team’s website, &lt;strong&gt;the Dodgers claimed Ryan Fitzgerald from the Twins&lt;/strong&gt;. The fact is according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, Kiké Hernandez might not be ready to roll for opening day. Hence, you can understand the Dodgers’ hesitation to sign another player.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;This is just one of the recent moves by &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/dodgers-rumors-potential-impact-of-signing-kyle-tucker-could-be-a-beacon-of-hope-for-the-ny-mets&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;the Dodgers, who are also rumored to be keen on signing Kyle Tucker, which would have a domino effect on the Mets and Yankees&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;strong&gt; It is very curious to see the Dodgers be aggressive on one front, but also conservative on the other&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Is Ryan Fitzgerald a great fit for the Dodgers?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Fitzgerald is a player who will bring the classic versatility a utility player brings. However, it is not to be consider a player of Kiké Hernandez’s qualities. He is more of a contingency, backup plan. &lt;strong&gt;Fitzgerald is 32 years old and has just one season in the MLB.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/09200427/ryan-fitzgerald-1920x1080.webp&quot; alt=&quot;Ryan Fitzgerald #53 of the Minnesota Twins&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-559287&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Ry and an Fitzgerald #53 of the Minnesota Twins&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;He played in 24 games with the Twins in 2025, &lt;strong&gt;where he slashed .196/.302/.457 while covering the four infield positions&lt;/strong&gt;. If Kiké is back, but players like &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mookie-betts&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Mookie Betts&lt;/a&gt;, Max Muncy or Freddie Freeman also suffer injuries, Fitzgerald is a great backup to have.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/mlb/dodgers-sidestep-legal-issues-with-6-38-million-moves-while-cody-bellinger-remains-unsigned&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;Kiké Hernandez has been crucial for the Dodgers&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Hernandez is a three-time champion with the Dodgers, but &lt;strong&gt;he still left the Dodgers once, where he went and played for the Red Sox&lt;/strong&gt;. He was back and his postseason performance and defensive prowess made him a crucial part of the team.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Still, the fact is Hernandez and Fitzgerald can actually co-exist, that’s the beauty of having utility players. &lt;strong&gt;It’s depth and quality blend into one&lt;/strong&gt;. In this case, one more expensive than the other, but both are useful.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The ongoing saga between &lt;strong&gt;Cody Bellinger&lt;/strong&gt; and the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees&quot;&gt;New York Yankees&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; continues to stretch on, with no clear path toward an agreement. The Yankees remain active in negotiations, but their offers have yet to meet the parameters demanded by the &lt;strong&gt;MLB &lt;/strong&gt;free agent. As talks linger without progress, the organization is already preparing a contingency plan that involves another star on the free agent market.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Yankees’&lt;strong&gt; latest offer to Bellinger exceeds $30 million in average annual value, but contract length remains the central issue&lt;/strong&gt;. According to Brendan Kuty, Bellinger and his camp are seeking a seven-year deal, while the Yankees are not aligned with that vision. As a result, both sides remain far apart, signaling that negotiations are still stalled.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;With that uncertainty, &lt;strong&gt;the Yankees are now turning attention toward Bo Bichette as a potential alternative&lt;/strong&gt;. That pursuit is far from simple, as multiple teams are involved in the race. In the broader chase for the two-time All-Star, an unexpected contender has emerged, and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/bo-bichette-reportedly-has-unexpected-suitor-with-ny-yankees-seemingly-out&quot;&gt;longtime Toronto Blue Jays player could eventually take his talents to the AL West&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Erik Kratz, speaking on Foul Territory, identified the Angels as a possible destination for Bichette. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“The Angels could be a sleeper team for Bo Bichette,”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; Kratz said. For now, the situation remains fluid, but the market around Bichette appears to be accelerating as teams look for clarity.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Other teams showing interest in Bellinger&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Jon Heyman adds that &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cody-bellinger&quot;&gt;Bellinger&lt;/a&gt; &lt;strong&gt;continues to attract interest from several clubs, including the Chicago Cubs and the Los Angeles Dodgers&lt;/strong&gt;. While the Yankees evaluate broader lineup upgrades, Bichette has solidified himself as a legitimate alternative option as discussions with Bellinger continue to drag on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;The Yankees continue making moves&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/ny-yankees-make-move-on-the-roster-amid-cody-bellingers-uncertainty&quot;&gt;As the Bellinger situation remains unresolved, the Yankees are still active on other fronts&lt;/a&gt;. According to Bryan Hoch, &lt;strong&gt;the Yankees claimed right-handed pitcher Kaleb Ort off waivers from the Houston Astros&lt;/strong&gt;. The veteran arm adds depth to the bullpen after a season in which he posted career highs in games, innings, and strikeouts.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Ort recorded a &lt;strong&gt;2.55 ERA across 22 appearances in the second half of 2024&lt;/strong&gt;, showing improved usage and efficiency. However, during the 2025 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb&quot;&gt;MLB&lt;/a&gt; season, he finished with a &lt;strong&gt;4.89 ERA&lt;/strong&gt; before his campaign ended prematurely due to an elbow injury.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees&quot;&gt;New York Yankees&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; have been chasing &lt;strong&gt;Cody Bellinger&lt;/strong&gt; throughout the offseason, and there is no doubt he remains their top target as they look to position themselves as strong contenders for the World Series next &lt;strong&gt;MLB &lt;/strong&gt;season. Bellinger is viewed as the missing piece to elevate the roster, but the process has turned out to be far more complicated than initially expected.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Bellinger does not appear close to reaching an agreement. Brendan Kuty of The Athletic &lt;strong&gt;reported that talks have continued, but both sides remain far apart, mainly due to disagreements over contract length&lt;/strong&gt;. According to MLB insider Jon Morosi, &lt;strong&gt;Bellinger and the Boras Corporation are seeking a six or seven-year deal&lt;/strong&gt;, while the Yankees are pushing for a four or five-year commitment.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Bellinger opted out of his Yankees contract after a strong 2025 season and &lt;strong&gt;entered free agency searching for long-term security&lt;/strong&gt;. The Yankees acquired him from the Chicago Cubs in December 2024 at a relatively low cost, and he went on to deliver an excellent season, becoming a key contributor to the lineup.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;During the 2025 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb&quot;&gt;MLB&lt;/a&gt; season, &lt;strong&gt;Bellinger hit .272 with 29 home runs, 98 RBIs, and an .813 OPS across 152 games&lt;/strong&gt;. That total marked his highest home run output since 2019. He ranked among the most complete outfielders in baseball, adding value with his defense, speed, and versatility while playing all three outfield positions and first base.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;The latest offer Bellinger received from the Yankees&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Yankees’ &lt;strong&gt;latest offer to &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cody-bellinger&quot;&gt;Cody Bellinger&lt;/a&gt; reportedly exceeded $30 million in average annual value&lt;/strong&gt;. However, according to Kuty, Bellinger and his camp continued to prioritize contract length, with a strong preference for a seven-year deal. New York reportedly made at least two multi-year offers, including the most recent proposal.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/mlb/not-ny-yankees-or-ny-mets-cody-bellinger-seen-as-favorite-over-kyle-tucker-for-another-team&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

        

        


&lt;p&gt;The Yankees&lt;strong&gt; were believed to be more comfortable with a four or five-year contract&lt;/strong&gt;, a stance that led to the current stalemate. Since Juan Soto left the team, ownership has shown increased caution when it comes to handing out long-term deals, favoring flexibility over extended commitments.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;With negotiations dragging on, the Yankees have started to view the situation as increasingly difficult. As a result, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/ny-yankees-reportedly-considering-another-free-agent-as-cody-bellinger-talks-extend&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;they have begun to monitor other free agent options due to the extended talks with Bellinger&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, including Bo Bichette, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“The Yankees and No. 1 target Cody Bellinger have exchanged multiple proposals but haven’t closed the gap quite enough to shut off other possibilities,”&lt;/em&gt; Heyman wrote. &lt;em&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;New York is now looking more seriously at superstar infielder Bo Bichette&lt;/strong&gt;,”&lt;/em&gt; as the offseason continues to evolve.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi&quot;&gt;Lionel Messi&lt;/a&gt; is coming off a stellar 2025 where he led &lt;strong&gt;Inter Miami&lt;/strong&gt; to the first &lt;strong&gt;MLS Cup&lt;/strong&gt; title in franchise history. The Herons want to repeat last season’s success, and to that end, the front office has made official the signing of an Argentine who could fill the void left by &lt;strong&gt;Sergio Busquets&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Inter Miami CF announced today it has signed Argentine midfielder &lt;strong&gt;David Ayala&lt;/strong&gt; from the Portland Timbers. Ayala joins Inter Miami as part of MLS’s U22 Initiative, bolsters the Club’s midfield depth, and will remain under contract &lt;strong&gt;through the conclusion of the 2026 Major League Soccer (MLS) season&lt;/strong&gt;,&lt;/em&gt;” Inter Miami stated in an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.intermiamicf.com/news/inter-miami-cf-signs-midfielder-david-ayala&quot;&gt;official release&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Inter Miami view the 23-year-old midfielder as the potential replacement for &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sergio-busquets&quot;&gt;Busquets&lt;/a&gt; in the middle of the pitch, who retired after winning the championship alongside Jordi Alba. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;His playing characteristics are similar to the Spaniard’s, and the statistics reflect it: while Busquets averaged &lt;strong&gt;59.2 completed passes per game&lt;/strong&gt;, Ayala led the Timbers with &lt;strong&gt;47.2 passes&lt;/strong&gt; per match at an &lt;strong&gt;88% completion rate.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Ayala won’t be alone at &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami&quot;&gt;Inter Miami&lt;/a&gt;, as he joins a long list of Argentines on the roster: &lt;strong&gt;Lionel Messi, Rodrigo De Paul, Gonzalo Lujan, Tomás Aviles, Oscar Ustari, Mateo Silvetti&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Facundo Mura&lt;/strong&gt; are the compatriots who will welcome the midfielder to Fort Lauderdale.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Far from being complacent after winning their first MLS Cup, the front office quickly got to work before the start of the preseason to reinforce the squad. &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-gains-a-new-argentine-teammate-as-inter-miami-confirm-their-first-2026-signing&quot;&gt;Inter Miami confirmed Facundo Mura as the first signing of 2026&lt;/a&gt; to cover the right-back position left vacant by &lt;strong&gt;Marcelo Weigandt&lt;/strong&gt; following his return to Boca Juniors.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Herons’ goal could also have a new owner, as &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messis-inter-miami-announce-stellar-signing-who-aspires-to-play-in-2026-world-cup&quot;&gt;Inter Miami confirmed a stellar signing who aspires to play in the 2026 World Cup&lt;/a&gt; with the &lt;strong&gt;USMNT&lt;/strong&gt;. This is Canadian goalkeeper &lt;strong&gt;Dayne St. Clair&lt;/strong&gt;, who had an excellent season with Minnesota United that earned him the &lt;strong&gt;2025 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year&lt;/strong&gt; award.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;To bolster the defense, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/inter-miami-officially-sign-brazilian-teammate-for-lionel-messi-in-2026&quot;&gt;Inter Miami announced the signing of a Brazilian&lt;/a&gt; with previous MLS experience. This is &lt;strong&gt;Micael&lt;/strong&gt;, who arrived from Palmeiras after a strong stint with the Houston Dynamo, where he made &lt;strong&gt;80 appearances&lt;/strong&gt; and scored &lt;strong&gt;three goals&lt;/strong&gt; across all competitions over two seasons and won the &lt;strong&gt;2023 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cameroon&quot;&gt;Cameroon&lt;/a&gt; failed to create almost any truly dangerous situations for their opponent, who took advantage in the second half to extend the lead. Following a corner kick in the 73rd minute, Ismael Saibari was left unmarked and sealed the match for Morocco with a powerful shot.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;With the scoreboard in their favor and the match decided, Morocco focused on solid defending, preventing Cameroon from creating any threats. The host nation will now face either Nigeria or Algeria on January 14, where they will seek a spot in the grand final.&lt;/p&gt;

Kofane isn't worried about Morocco's huge fanbase

As the tournament host, Morocco enjoy massive fan support at every match. However, Cameroonian forward Christian Kofane remains unfazed by the atmosphere.
"All of us players are used to pressure. Playing in the Bundesliga, I’ve faced very intense crowds, like Borussia Dortmund’s, so I know how to handle myself in that environment. We know how Morocco plays and we have prepared for it. We will do what we know how to do," the striker noted during a press conference.

Morocco beat Cameroon 2-0 to reach AFCON 2025 semifinals: Highlights and goals

Morocco beat Cameroon 2-0 to reach AFCON 2025 semifinals: Highlights and goals - Bolavip US

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/wrexham&quot;&gt;Wrexham&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; host &lt;strong&gt;Nottingham Forest&lt;/strong&gt; at the Racecourse Ground for the third round of the &lt;strong&gt;2025-26 FA Cup&lt;/strong&gt;, where they will look to pull off an upset and knock the Premier League side out of the prestigious tournament.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;After achieving promotion to the EFL Championship for the first time in their history, Wrexham are enjoying a solid season. Through 26 matches, they sit &lt;strong&gt;ninth&lt;/strong&gt; in the table with &lt;strong&gt;40 points&lt;/strong&gt; and are currently on a hot streak of &lt;strong&gt;four consecutive victories.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;On the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nottingham-forest&quot;&gt;Nottingham Forest&lt;/a&gt; side, unlike the previous season, they currently sit in &lt;strong&gt;17th place&lt;/strong&gt;, battling at the bottom of the table to avoid relegation to the EFL Championship. Sean Dyche’s squad has earned &lt;strong&gt;21 points&lt;/strong&gt; through 21 matches, managing only six wins and three draws while suffering &lt;strong&gt;12 defeats&lt;/strong&gt; so far this season.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;It is a major opportunity for Wrexham, a team that has proven its quality across every division it has played in, achieving rapid promotions in each. Now they face a Premier League opponent that they do not view as an impossible rival to overcome.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/09104431/wrexham-smith-1920x1080.webp&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-559060&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt; Sam Smith of Wrexham celebrates a goal. (Getty Images)&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What happens if Wrexham win vs Nottingham Forest?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;If Wrexham manage to pull off an upset against Nottingham Forest at the Racecourse Ground, the side managed by Phil Parkinson will advance to the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/fa-cup&quot;&gt;FA Cup&lt;/a&gt; fourth round&lt;/strong&gt;, which is set to take place starting &lt;strong&gt;February 13&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/soccer/fifa-considers-implementing-a-revolutionary-rule-ahead-of-2026-world-cup&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;What happens if Wrexham and Nottingham Forest tie?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The FA opted to follow the rule imposed last edition, where in the event of a draw &lt;strong&gt;there will be no replay match&lt;/strong&gt; as happened in years past. In case of a tie, the encounter will have &lt;strong&gt;two 15-minute periods&lt;/strong&gt; of extra time, and if the draw persists through that period, the winner will be decided by a &lt;strong&gt;penalty shootout&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What happens if Wrexham lose vs Nottingham Forest?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;If Nottingham Forest secure a victory against the EFL Championship side at the Racecourse Ground, it will be Sean Dyche’s squad that advances to the fourth round of the FA Cup.&lt;/p&gt;

Wrexham AFC Face Nottingham Forest in FA Cup Third Round Elimination Match

What happens if Wrexham win, tie or lose vs Nottingham Forest today in 2025-26 FA Cup?

What happens if Wrexham win, tie or lose vs Nottingham Forest today in 2025-26 FA Cup? - Bolavip US

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Morocco&lt;/strong&gt; face &lt;strong&gt;Cameroon&lt;/strong&gt; in the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/afcon&quot;&gt;AFCON&lt;/a&gt; 2025&lt;/strong&gt; quarterfinals in what promises to be one of the tournament’s greatest matches. With a spot in the semifinals at stake, the host nation aims to finish among the top four teams in the competition.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/morocco&quot;&gt;Morocco&lt;/a&gt; successfully qualified first in Group A, &lt;strong&gt;remaining undefeated&lt;/strong&gt; after collecting two wins and a draw. In the round of 16, Walid Regragui’s team defeated Tanzania 1-0 with a goal from Brahim Diaz to secure their place among the best eight teams in the tournament.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;On &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cameroon&quot;&gt;Cameroon&lt;/a&gt;‘s side, the &lt;em&gt;Indomitable Lions&lt;/em&gt; secured qualification as runners-up in Group F, finishing with the same points as Ivory Coast but with a lower goal difference. &lt;strong&gt;They also arrive undefeated&lt;/strong&gt; after two wins and a draw in the group stage, followed by a 2-1 victory against South Africa in the round of 16 to reach this stage.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What happens if Morocco win vs Cameroon?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;If Morocco defeat Cameroon today, they will advance directly to the &lt;strong&gt;semifinals&lt;/strong&gt;. The &lt;em&gt;Atlas Lions&lt;/em&gt; would then face the winner of the &lt;strong&gt;Nigeria vs Algeria&lt;/strong&gt; match on &lt;strong&gt;Wednesday, January 14&lt;/strong&gt;. This would keep their dreams alive for a second continental title on home soil.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/09100235/brahim-diaz-1920x1080.webp&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-559032&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Brahim Diaz celebrates his goal against Tanzania. (@EnMaroc)&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What happens if Morocco and Cameroon tie?&lt;/h2&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/soccer/south-africa-vs-cameroon-live-afcon-2025-round-of-16&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;Should the match remain tied at the end of regulation, it will move into &lt;strong&gt;two 15-minute periods of extra time&lt;/strong&gt;. If the deadlock persists after 120 minutes of play, a &lt;strong&gt;penalty shootout&lt;/strong&gt; will determine which team punches their ticket to the semifinals.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;What happens if Morocco lose vs Cameroon?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;If Morocco lose to Cameroon today, &lt;strong&gt;their tournament run end here&lt;/strong&gt;. The Indomitable Lions would instead advance to the semifinal to face either Nigeria or Algeria.&lt;/p&gt;
