CHAN 2020
A good clash between two teams who couldn't score in their previous game but still showed good things. Congo have often been in the shadow of their big brother DR Congo but the team isn't bad at all, two years ago the team reached the Quarter finals and finished at the top of their group, but Congolese doesn't look very good defensively they tend to make some mistakes without great goalkeeping either, today they face a team from West Africa with better technical skills as well as strong physicaly it might be hard to make a clean sheet once again today.
Niger failed to beat the so called "easier team of the group" on the previous game, they started bad but the second half was all in their hand and could have win the game, i believe they finished the game with frustration and will try to avoid the same scenario, the team didn't look bad at all they got some interesting offensive players quite technical and strong, Niger also had some good friendlies few days ago, they had a good 3-3 draw Vs Zambia while they did beat Cameroon by 2-1! Niger also managed to kick out Ivory Coast on qualifying round. This is a very much underated nation while in fact they are interesting when it comes to local tournament or junior level.
Congo got no choice after the loss in the opening game while Niger must try to obtain the three points, that would give them 4 points before facing a probable "qualified" team of DR Congo in the last match. The draw might be a good option for both of them during the last game for example.
The loser here will most probably be out especially in Congo's case! Both will look for the victory my call is 2-2!
