This Africa Cup of Nations Qualifications clash sees two continental giants meet, both needing a result to gain an advantage in the group. Côte d'Ivoire play at home with confidence in their ability to create attacking opportunities. The hosts have averaged 55.1% possession over their last 10 matches across all competitions and produced an average of 4.2 shots on target per game. Meanwhile, Ghana have stumbled with defeats in their last two matches and often struggle defensively on the road, conceding first-half goals in 7 of their last 8 matches. The game is likely to see the hosts take control of possession and push forward from the first half. If they can break down the visitors' backline and take an early lead, the second half should be more comfortable, giving them the chance to dictate the tempo and close out the targeted victory.
