Football enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the contest between the national sides of Congo and Niger.
The Congo national team is regarded as a strong and resilient side, considering the level of football on the African continent. Congo's team has once graced the World Cup, which happened in 1974. Additionally, Congo is a regular participant in the Africa Cup of Nations.
In 1968, the Congo national side was crowned champions of Africa. In recent tournaments, they have consistently performed well, advancing past the group stage four consecutive times, and securing fourth place in 2023. In the current World Cup Qualifier campaign, Congo has played one match, triumphing over Zambia, thus placing them fifth in their group.
The football team from Niger is considered one of the weakest in Africa. They have never qualified for the World Cup or come close to doing so. In the Africa Cup of Nations, Niger has played only twice, but did not advance past the group stage.
Niger managed to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations in 2012 and 2013, but missed the subsequent five tournaments. Their World Cup Qualifier journey began with two matches against Tanzania and Zambia. While Niger lost 1-0 to Tanzania, they managed to secure a victory against Zambia.
Niger and Congo have clashed in 6 official matches. Congo boasts 3 victories, while the remaining 3 encounters ended in draws. Their most recent match ended in a draw.
Congo's individual total over (ITO) will exceed 2 goals. Even in a challenging match against Zambia, Congo managed to score 2 goals.
Congo to win. The match against group leaders Zambia does not reflect the true strength of Congo. Against the weaker opposition of Niger, Congo's players should prevail.
