Ghana vs Angola Prediction: The Black Stars of Ghana will continue their decent run against their opponent

The Black Stars of Ghana will kick off their AFCON qualifying round against Angola at the Baba Yara Stadium on Thursday. After defeat in his first game as Ghanaian coach, Otto Addo has now won twice and drawn once in his last three matches. The Black Stars will be keen to start strong on their ground, while Angola will be pleased with a point on the road. 

Ghana

FIFA Ranking: 64th

Last five games: DLDWW

The star-studded Black Stars are now unbeaten over their last three matches. They have drawn against Uganda, won on the road in Mali and got the better of the Central African Republic. It was a run inspired by Jordan Ayew, who have scored five goals over their previous three games. Even though they still have a lot of adjustments to make at the back, Ghana have been impressive in front of goal. 

Otto Addo men's journey ended their AFCON group stage in third spot, a terrible performance that got Chris Hughton fired. They’ll be keen to qualify and do better this time in the forthcoming edition. 

Angola

FIFA Ranking: 90th

Last five matches: LLDWD

Since their recent run in the most recent AFCON tournament, the Giant Sable Antelopes have managed one win over their last five matches. Angola settled for a (1-1) share of the spoils against Cameroon in the ongoing World Cup qualifier. The result was after their slim (1-0) victory over Eswatini. Angola moved four places up in the latest FIFA Rankings following their decent outing at AFCON. 

Angola have named a strong side for this clash, and they’ll be hopeful of fighting for a point at least here. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous three meetings, Ghana have won twice and drawn a game. The Black Stars of Ghana were once again at the top of their game against the Central African Republic, playing as a team and creating lots of chances. However, conceding three goals against such a side is something to be worried about. At the same time, Angola have struggled lately, especially in front of goal, scoring twice over their last four matches.

Ghana are expected to continue with the front three of Mohamed Kudus, Jordan Ayew and Ernest Nuamah. With Partey and Abdul Samed anchoring the midfield. On the opposing end, Manuel Benson, Mabululu and Gelson Dala will feature in front of goal, while Show and Fredy will be saddled with the function of playing in the middle.

Both teams have some serious attacking players, and we believe this game won’t deny us goals. However, Ghana will be poised to continue their decent form and as well securing their first win in the group.

We expect the hosts to concede here since they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last seven matches; bet on BTTS for 2.30.

We expect the hosts to get a halftime victory in front of their home supporters for 2.40.

Good luck!
