Niger will entertain Angola at Stade Larbi Zaouli in the Africa Cup of Nations qualification campaign on Tuesday. The hosts may be resigned to fate while the visitors are looking to strengthen their stranglehold on progress to the tournament proper.
Niger vs Angola Preview
Niger will embark on matchday four with one point, following one draw and two losses from their previous three matches in Group F. They sit bottom of the group, trailing the top spot by eight points. The hosts showed some strength when they held Ghana to a goalless draw on matchday two, but are yet to do better than that.
Menas have made two Afcon appearances, in 2012 and 2013, but have missed five editions so far. Their chances of qualification this time are slim. The hosts could book their place if they win their remaining three matches, but it appears to be an unattainable goal, considering their form. A further defeat will confirm their elimination.
Angola have maintained a flawless run, defeating Ghana (1-0), Sudan (2-1) and Niger (2-0) in their previous three matches. They sit atop Group F on nine points and will seal their qualification if they outshine Niger in Casablanca, where the hosts have been playing their home games. Angola are yet to lose against Niger.
Palancas Negras are staring at their 10th Afcon qualification, with their best record being a quarterfinal finish. The visitors are in the form of their lives, losing only two times in 19 matches this year. Angola are undefeated in their last 10 matches in all competitions, boasting eight wins. They have scored 10 goals and conceded one in their last four games.
