All four teams in Group B have a chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations which makes all games must-win encounters.

The Black Stars have four points, Mali three, Democratic Republic of Congo two and Niger one.

Boateng and his team-mates have watched Niger closely and are prepared to take on the tournament's underdogs.

"We have watched Niger play DR Congo and Mali. They are a very physical and tactically disciplined team and this match will be more difficult than our first two," said Boateng.

"Niger are no pushovers and we have to do more to beat them," added Bristol City midfielder Albert Adomah. "No game is easy here, but we are getting better as a team and, hopefully, we will move to the next stage."
