Angola vs Niger Prediction: Angola remain unbeaten at the moment

Estádio 11 de Novembro will be the venue for the round 3 match of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying encounter between Angola and Niger. Angola are home favorites in this game. Can Niger, on the road, secure their first qualifying win?

Angola secured a 2-1 win over Sudan in their last AFCON qualifier, making it two wins in two games in this AFCON. In that game, Angola could only find the back of the net in the second half through Mabululu's strike in the 51st minute from the spot. Mustafa Karshom leveled the score for Sudan, but an 81st-minute strike by Randy Nteka was enough to extend Angola's run of wins. Heading into this game, Angola have a winning run of six matches while they remain unbeaten in ten games. 

Niger played Ghana the previous time out and held the Black Stars to a 1-1 draw. In that game, this team had to come from behind to take their first point in this AFCON qualifier, thanks to Oumar Sako's strike. In the meantime, Niger started their qualifier with a defeat to Sudan, a game that ended 1-0. In the Group F AFCON standings, Niger sit 4th with one point, scoring one goal and conceding two. 

Angola are a threat to many sides, and it is tough to bet against them when taking on weaker opponents. With Niger struggling, Angola's level of play since the last AFCON have improved and as a favorite at home, I am backing them to annihilate Niger at home.
