African Cup of Nations match preview: Gabon - Niger

Written by: paulciciovan Published: 23-01 11:01:54

Hosts of the competition

Co-hosts of the competition, Gabon, ready to start their campaign with a game against the worst side from the group, Niger. The game will be played in Libreville (Gabon), so this is a big advantage for the hosts. They had a good preparation for this competition, with 8 friendlies played in the last year, including tough tests against Brazil and Ghana.

Group outsiders

Niger is Group C`s big underdogs, as the bookies gave them odds of 10 to win the group and huge odds (101) to lift the trophy. They have qualified for the first time in their history at the African Cup of Nations, thanks to their home record, as they won 3 out of 3 on their home turf, while on the road, they lost all their matches, without scoring. Except Moussa Maazou (Zulte Waregem), all their players are low profiles.

Gabon to start strong

Gabon face a difficult task to qualify for the quarter-finals, as they are in a group with Tunisia and Maroc, so their only chance is to start strong and defeat the group`s outsiders Niger. The hosts boast a good offensive pair, Aubameyang (St Etienne) - Mouloungui (Nice), while Niger`s star player, Maazou, had a difficult season in Belgium, playing only 5 games in the last 12 months. They failed to score in the qualifying campaign away from home, so I expect something similar here.
