In their last two official match trips to Algeria, Niger took two big slaps: a 6-1 in October 2021 and a 6-0 in November 2003. While the Mena travels again to Algeria this Thursday, March 23 for the third day of qualifying for the 2023 AFCON, we fear for the worse. But Jean Michel Cavalli, coach of the Nigerians, remain optimistic. "It will be two difficult games but we will do our best to achieve a good result. In any case, for me, it is playable. The mission against Algeria will be difficult but it will not be impossible," said Cavalli who knows the country well. He has already been on the bench of Mouloudia d'Oran.
