This crucial encounter will set the tone for the Black Stars’ quest to secure their place in the prestigious tournament in Morocco next year.

Ghana, the footballing powerhouse on the continent, will be eager to make a statement and impress their passionate fanbase.

The home advantage will undoubtedly be a significant factor for the Black Stars, as the Baba Yara Stadium is known for its electric atmosphere.

The Black Stars will be counting on their experienced players like Thomas Partey, Jordan Ayew, and the rising stars of Mohammed Kudus, Antoine Semenyo, amongst others to deliver a convincing performance.

Ayew bagged a hat-trick when the Black Stars beat the Central African Republic 4-3 in Kumasi in the FIFA World Cup qualifications in June, the last international window.

Angola, on the other hand, will be looking to upset the odds and secure a valuable result against their more favoured opponents.

The Palancas Negras have shown glimpses of their potential in the past and will be hoping to capitalize on any opportunities that come their way.

The match is expected to be a thrilling affair, with both teams vying for victory. Angola’s last visit to Kumasi saw them concede deep in stoppage-time as they lost 1-0.

The outcome of this encounter could have a significant impact on the dynamics of Group F in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers.

Sudan were 1-0 victors over Niger in the other group fixture on Wednesday at the Juba Stadium in South Sudan, taking an early lead in the group standings.
