Niger vs Mauritania Prediction
🔊 Niger and Mauritania are set to play their second friendly of the June international window. Niger are winless in their last five outings, while Mauritania haven’t tasted victory in eight straight matches.

To help form a well-founded prediction, let’s take a closer look at the teams’ key stats.
Head-to-Head
📊 Over the past three years, Niger and Mauritania have not faced each other.
Niger Team Overview
Niger enjoyed a strong finish to their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign, stringing together three straight wins and climbing to second place in their group ahead of the likes of Tanzania and Zambia. However, they ultimately missed out on a playoff spot due to goal difference. After the conclusion of the official cycle, though, their momentum evaporated.
The team played five friendlies without registering a single victory. They suffered defeats to Burkina Faso (2-3) and Togo (0-1), while drawing with Guinea (1-1), Libya (0-0), and Benin (1-1). In fact, Niger are winless in their last seven exhibition matches overall. Over that stretch, they have averaged just 0.71 goals scored per game while conceding 1.00 on average.

Mauritania Team Overview
Mauritania have little to boast about on the international stage. The team finished fifth in their qualifying group, though it’s worth noting that they faced two World Cup finalists-Senegal and DR Congo. Mauritania are currently on a seven-match winless streak, a run that stretches back to September last year.
In 2026, Mauritania have played two friendlies. The most notable was a clash with reigning world champions Argentina, where they narrowly lost 1-2. Impressively, the African side matched their illustrious opponents in shots on target (four each) and even outperformed them on expected goals (xG: 1.04 vs 0.67). Over their last five friendlies, Mauritania average 1.0 goals scored and 1.4 conceded per match. They haven’t managed a friendly win since 2023, recording six draws and five defeats during that stretch.

Editorial Prediction
Mauritania turned heads with their performance against Argentina, and previously held their own against the likes of Angola, Tunisia, Algeria, and Burkina Faso-all of whom sit much higher in the FIFA rankings than their current opponent. Considering Niger’s recent form in friendlies, a well-founded prediction for this match is to back Mauritania to win with a (0) handicap.
