Just like the psychic octopus named Paul, which made accurate predictions in the 2010 World Cup, another magical animal, , a pig named Mystic Marcus, has predicted that Nigeria, alongside Belgium, Uruguay and Argentina, will progress to the Semi-finals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup starting on Thursday in Russia.

Mystic Marcus has a 100 per cent track record of predicting sports results according to his owner, Juliette Stevens, reports Daily Mail on Wednesday.

And the eight-year-old prophet even predicted Brexit and that Donald Trump would win the US presidential election.

Now Mystic Marcus forecasted that the semi-finalists for this summer’s World Cup in Russia are, Belgium, Argentina, Nigeria and Uruguay .

He made the predictions by gobbling up apples bearing the flags of the nations.
