Niger will be greatly disappointed with their form in recent matches. In their last six games, they have managed just a single victory to go with two defeats and three draws. However, crucially for them that solitary victory came in the last group game against Cameroon. A second half goal from Ousseini Badamassi was enough to send Cameroon out and Niger through to the knockout stages. Their compact and solid defense will be the key for them to succeed further in the campaign.
Inconsistencies and mixed results have marked the recent games of Ghana. They have obtained three victories in their last six games accompanied by three defeats. It was certainly an entertaining campaign at the 2022 FIFA World Cup by Ghana who managed to score five goals but also concede seven across three games. Their offensive prowess has continued to impress in the African Nations Championship as well and that will be required by them to break down the Niger backline.
With this being the beginning of the knockout stages of the competition, both the coaches will be looking to name their respective strongest XIs to ensure qualification to the next round.
