Ghana looks like favourites in the match! Niger vs Ghana Prediction
One of the second-round matches of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers will take place on Monday at the Municipal Stadium in Berkane, where Niger will face Ghana. Here is a match prediction from the experts at Dailysports.
Niger
Niger is currently vying for a spot in the World Cup, sitting in second place in Group E of the qualifiers. After three games, Niger has accumulated six points with victories over Zambia (2-1) and Congo (3-0) in the second and third rounds. However, they suffered a home defeat to Tanzania in the opening match, losing 0-1.
As a result, Niger is three points behind Morocco, and they are ahead of Tanzania only on tiebreakers. Apart from their World Cup qualifiers, Niger also played three friendly matches, losing to Senegal and Togo and drawing with Burkina Faso. In the first round of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, Niger lost 0-1 away to Sudan.
Ghana
The "Black Stars" participated in the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year but had a disappointing campaign. Their struggles began on the opening day when they lost to Cape Verde. Draws with Egypt and Mozambique followed, and Ghana finished third in their group, failing to advance to the knockout stages.
In the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Ghana has gathered nine points from four matches and currently occupies second place in Group I. They began the campaign with a 1-0 home win over Madagascar but suffered a surprising 0-1 away defeat to Comoros. Ghana then secured maximum points in matches against the Central African Republic and Mali. In the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, however, they lost 0-1 at home to Angola.
