Niger are pulling their weight well in the ongoing African Nations Championships (CHAN) in Cameroon, and after the draw with Congo, they are set to face Congo DR in the final Group B game. Going to this game Congo DR lead with four points and Niger are second with two. Niger were the least favored in the group but after two opening draws, they remain in contention for a place in the quarter finals. They came from a goal down in the second game and head to this knowing it is a must-win clash. With just one win in the last five matches in this competition, odds will still be stacked against Niger but for a team that saw off Ivory Coast to qualify, some respect will be due. Niger’s main undoing when it comes to this competition is that they have failed to score in three of the last five and as a result, are winless in three that came after beating Ivory Coast.

Congo DR, the most successful team in this tournament, was rather poor on Match Day 2 against Libya. They needed a last minute goal from Amede Masasi to earn a 1-1 draw. The result threw this group wide open, with any of the four in danger of elimination after the final group game. Congo DR are in pole position though, and only need a draw to secure their place in the next stage. They are unbeaten in five matches across all competitions and in CHAN matches, they haven’t lost any of their last nine encounters, winning five.
