Gabon carry more attacking quality than Niger and have home advantage in a group they need points from. Their forward line has been the difference in most of their recent qualifying fixtures.

Niger are organised and difficult to break down early, but they offer little going forward away from home. Gabon should find a way through, though patience may be required.

Estimated price — the site's odds feed has no market published for this fixture at the time of writing, so this line reflects team strength and recent form rather than a traded price.
