Mauritania vs Niger: Team News and Expert Analysis
Mauritania managed to collect only seven points in qualification, finishing ahead of only South Sudan. Kuwait denied them a spot in the Arab Cup, and there was little success in friendlies. However, the 1-2 result against Argentina can be considered a positive. Recently, they drew 1-1 with Angola.
The Nigerien team finished second in their qualification group, but due to tiebreakers, they missed the autumn playoff. They also missed out on the AFCON. Thus, only friendlies remained, where the best results were draws—such as the 1-1 against Benin.
Gassama and company score an average of 0.6 goals per match, conceding just 1.1. Their guests net 0.9 goals per game but concede 1.2.
