The Bareas will not grace the AFCON Competition after four games with a point.

The Black Stars have not had a smooth start in this round, with two stalemates and two wins. In fact, their only comfortable victory was against Madagascar in their opening encounter. They have since shared the spoils on the road against Central Africa, won by a lone goal against Angola, and fought for a point away from home against same Angola. Despite the quality of their squad, they have failed to produce results. 

The Black Stars retained the top spot and are now a point ahead of second-placed Angola.

Over their last three games, Madagascar have won twice while Ghana have recorded a win. However, Madagascar hasn't beaten Ghana in a competitive match before. Their recent encounter ended in a comfortable (3-0) victory for the Black Stars. Ghana knows that a win here is inevitable, as anyone of the top three sides can make the Final Cut. The Blacks Stars have invited notable players like Partey, Kudus, and the Ayew Brothers. Madagascar can’t match the visitors' quality, and after watching them lose (0-3) at home against Central Africa, we believe the Blacks Stars will amass all the points here for 1.53.

We expect the Black Stars to get the job done before the break for 2.25.

A correct score of (0-3) might surface here for 6.50.

Good luck!
