In this Africa Cup of Nations Qualifications match, Ghana host Gambia, with the home side having just lost 0-2 in this competition, while the visitors just won 2-1, so the two sides come in feeling very different. Ghana have clear problems over their last five matches, winning only one and losing three in a row. Their attack has been so blunt that they have failed to score a single goal in several matches. Gambia, meanwhile, have found their rhythm again from their latest match, even though they had previously lost two friendly matches in a row; the win in this competition has brought their confidence back. If Ghana score first from a game where they dominate possession and push high, Gambia will have to open up and trade blows, which will only open more space for the hosts to keep attacking and close the game out by a wider margin. But if the visitors defend tightly and hold out until the closing stages, the game could turn into one where the hosts pile on pressure but cannot break through, ending with just a one-goal margin.
