Niger vs Gabon

Under the guidance of manager Ezzaki Badou, Niger’s national football team heads into this match with some momentum after a dominant 6-0 thrashing of CONCACAF side Bonaire in a March friendly. However, their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign has been mixed so far—two wins and two defeats in their first four games.

Gabon, on the other hand, have been in strong form, boasting an exciting attack featuring stars like LAFC’s Denis Bouanga and veteran striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. They’ve won five of their six Group F qualifiers, with their only loss coming early in the campaign. Their most recent outing—a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Kenya in March—extended their winning streak to three in official FIFA matches.

While Niger has shown steady improvement, Gabon is emerging as a real force in African football right now. Given their current form and firepower, backing the Panthers seems like the smart choice here.

Niger enters this match in almost perfect form. They have won three and lost one of their previous four games. However, their home form is mediocre. They have won two and lost two of their past four home games.
