Congo will look to make amends for a 4-2 loss to Zambia when they take on Niger on Thursday afternoon. Congo struggled defensively in their Group E opener, but they are surely capable of matching Niger in Kinshasa. Interim boss Isaac Ngata has included notable figures Silvere Ganvcoula and Brian Passi, meaning that Thursday’s clash is of big importance for the home side.
Ezzaki Badou’s troops, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Tanzania, with the team beating Zambia 2-1 in their second group game. However, Congo do not suit Niger and that is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the home side. To make things even worse for the away team, both Moumouni and Salifou are banned for the match due to the accumulation of yellow cards. In their last meeting in a competitive match the two sides played out a goalless draw.
