Ghana go in search of a second successive win at the Africa Cup of Nations but coach Kwesi Appiah says Niger will be their toughest group opponents. The Black Stars are top in the Group B standings after making a marked improvement in their 1-0 win against Mali following an opening 2-2 draw in Port Elizabeth with DR Congo. But Appiah's side will be up against a Nigerien side seeking their first win at the finals on Monday. �We�ve played two games and for me the next game is the most difficult one,� Appiah said. �Looking at the Niger team, they are tactically very disciplined and I see it as a game that will be very difficult for us and for that reason we need to prepare very well.� A win for Ghana would ensure top place in the group and a quarter-final in Port Elizabeth on February 2 against the runners-up from Group A. �I have total confidence in my players and so far they are doing very well. I always believe in taking match after match and see how it goes,� the Ghana coach said.
