He, however, noted that Nigeria was a heavy favourite to win AFCON 2023 and predicted that the match would end in a one-all draw.
Jordan failed to choose an actual winner. In the other semis clash, he predicted that Ivory Coast would triumph by two goals to nil against DR Congo.
He believes the host nation would emerge as the tournament's victor on Sunday, February 11.
CAF-accredited sports analyst reacts
Speaking with Legit.ng, a CAF-accredited sports expert weighed in on the rise in accurate AFCON match predictions. In his words:
"I'm still surprised people are getting AFCON predictions correctly as the tournament has been unpredictable.
"It has actually been unpredictable. I mean, who would have thought Nigeria would draw Equatorial Guinea and win Ivory Coast in the group stage?
"If I was to predict those games, I'd have predicted the Super Eagles to win against Equatorial Guinea and lose to Ivory Coast. Or who would have seen Morocco's early exit from the tournament?
"For EPL and other club matches, it is easy for people to predict based on statistics and performances. But it's tricky with AFCON."

Man predicts Nigeria versus South Africa scoreline
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a man who had been predicting AFCON games correctly had given the scoreline for Nigeria's semis match.
In a Facebook post in the early hours of Wednesday, Temitope took a swipe at those waiting for his predictions to fail and clarified that he never claimed to be a prophet to be releasing prophecies.
While reiterating that Nigeria would win the tournament, Temitope revealed that the scoreline recurring in his subconsciousness was two-nil in favour of the Super Eagles.
He added that it would be another clean sheet and an easier game for Nigeria.
