Congo vs Niger match preview
Congo have had a poor start to their African Nations Championship tournament as they suffered a 1-0 loss against regional neighbours Congo DR. Chico Ushindi scored the only goal of the game but Congo manager Valdo Filho will be concerned that his team managed only one shot on goal during their opening game of the tournament. Congo are at the bottom of Group B and Valdo is under pressure to deliver a win against Niger as a defeat could end their chances of qualifying into the quarter-final stages.
- Predicted starting line-up for Congo: Pavelh Ndzila, Dimitry Bissiki, Julfin Ondongo, Faria Ondongo, Varel Rozan, Chandrel Massanga, Bercy Lesse, Mick Ossete, Prince Obongo, Jaures Ngombe, Bersyl Obassi.

On the other hand, Niger opened their campaign with a goalless draw against Libya on Matchday 1. However, Niger manager Harouna Doula Gabde will take the positives from his side’s performance, particularly as they kept the Libyan at bay the entire 90 minutes. A win for Niger would see them go top of Group B with four points and edge closer to the quarter-finals.
- Predicted starting line-up for Niger: Abdoul Halidou, Ismael Souley, Amadou Harouna, Kimba Koudize, Abdoulkarim Mamoudou, Ousseni Badamassi, Boubacar Goumey, Issa Djibrilla, Issa Mossi, Adamou Issa, Ibrahim Boubacar.
