Niger vs Angola Prediction: It is tough to bet against Angola

Stade Larbi Zaouli will host the second-leg encounter between Niger and Angola. Angola won the first leg at home. Can Niger, at home, replicate that outcome?

Niger will look to overturn their poor performance in this game and secure a win. In the first leg, Niger had 38 percent of the possession and attempted four shots with zero on target. In the meantime, Niger have failed to win any of their qualifying matches, losing their opening encounter against Sudan, while also being held to a 1-1 draw by Ghana. Heading into this game, Niger has only one, coming against Congo in what was an awarded scoreline. Seated bottom spot of this qualifying Group F standings, Niger scored one goal and conceded four. 

Angola pulled off a 2-0 win in the first leg of this game and will come in as favorites in this one. In that game, Angola had 62 percent of the possession and attempted 22 shots, with only four on target. In the meantime, this team could not break the deadlock until the 75th minute, with Mabululu putting his side in front from the spot. With Milson’s 85th-minute goal, Angola sealed maximum points and extended their winning run to seven games. In this qualifier, Angola sit at the top of Group F, scoring five goals and conceding one in three matches.

Niger at home have a lot to give, and there are a lot of expectations from them. However, these qualification encounters have not ended in their favor, and they should give their best at home. On the other hand, Angola look very decent and have consistently shown their quality, which can not be denied here. We should expect a few goals, and the two teams are expected to be very solid defensively. In the meantime, Angola are on a winning run, and I do not expect that to end here; hence, a bet on the road team to win.
