This will be the third time the two teams have met in the last two years. Ghana secured a 1-0 victory in their previous home game, thanks to Antoine Semenyo’s goal, and later drew 1-1 away in Angola. With some key players like Alexander Djiku and Gideon Mensah out, coach Addo is expected to make changes, particularly in defense and midfield.

Likely Ghana lineup: Ati-Zigi; Lamptey, Mumim, Salisu, Opoku; Partey, Ashimeru; Issahaku, Kudus, Thomas-Asante; Semenyo.
