It will be the first-ever match between Niger and Zimbabwe as the sides meet in an international friendly. This match between Menas and the Warriors is to be played at the neutral venue of Stade Pere Jego in Casablanca in Morocco on Tuesday, and our prediction is Niger wins the match.
Niger have a lot on their plate to look forward to, as they plan to improve their fourth place in Group E of the African World Cup qualification campaign, although they are only three points behind second-placed Tanzania. Zimbabwe are worse, as they are stuck at the bottom of Group C of the qualifiers, albeit just four points behind second-placed Rwanda in a tight group.
Niger won an entertaining international friendly against Gabon 4-3 on Friday in a match where they were leading 4-0 until the 70th minute. They nearly fluffed their lines after a 76th-minute red card but held on for a third win in their last five matches (D1, L1).
That puts things into perspective for Zimbabwe, who lost 2-0 to South Africa last Friday. It extended their wait for a win in any competition/friendly to nine matches (D4, L5), including four failures to score.
Both teams will also be compelled to plan their squad improvements for the next international football window in September.

Our Niger vs Zimbabwe Prediction
It’s a clash between two teams struggling for consistency, albeit at different levels. Niger have found a bit of form with three recent wins in their last five matches, spread across friendlies. Zimbabwe haven’t had that luxury, as they search for a first win in any competition or friendly since October 2024. Both teams are also struggling in the race for World Cup qualification, something to plan for while preparing for this match. Niger holds a tiny edge due to their recent form, and our Niger vs Zimbabwe prediction is Niger wins the match.
