AFCON 2012: Gabon Vs Niger (2 - 0) On January 23rd 2012 by mukina2: 10:05pm On Jan 22, 2012
The Panthers boast a full-strength squad for their clash with the Mena, who are making their debut at the Africa Cup of Nations. The co-hosts have brought back 14 of the 23 players who represented them at the previous edition two years ago in Angola.

Gabon are strong in attack, with former Milan forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, now of St Etienne, and Daniel Cousin providing impressive options up front. Defender Bruno Ecuele Manga will be marshalling the back line, and the Panthers will feel confident that they can make full use of home advantage here.

Level with Sierra Leone and South Africa at the end of all the matches in their qualifying group, and benefitting from the Caf specific regulations to go through, Niger are expected to be the whipping boys in this group, but they will have a great change to prove themselves against the co-hosts.

Niger trainer Harouna Douala was named by the Confederation of African Football (Caf) as the Africa's top coach of the year for his work in helping the country qualify for their first ever Afcon. Prior to receiving the honour, the Niger FA hired former Marseille coach Frenchman Rolland Courbis to assist him during the tournament, and this match will show just how useful the new recruit has been to the squad.

After this encounter is decided, the two teams involved will have battle it out in Group C against north African giants Tunisia and Morocco.
