On Friday night, Gabon and Ghana clash in Group C of the African Cup of Nations, in what could be a pivotal game in the group.
Gabon opened their Group C campaign with a 1-0 victory over minnows Comoros. The victory could well prove to be a crucial one in the context of who qualifies for the knockout stages.
Another positive result in this game would likely give Patrice Neveu’s team one foot into the knockout stages of the competition.
The win last time out was needed, as Gabon headed into this competition on the back of a three-game winless run in all competitions. The win does make them four games unbeaten at the AFCON.
However, Gabon had drawn their last three games in the competition, which were back in 2017, as they failed to qualify for 2019’s competition.
Gabon could welcome back central midfielder Mario Lemina and star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang into the squad after the pair missed the opening game.
Ghana suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat against Morocco in their opening match of AFCON. The defeat means that Milovan Rajevac’s team have now won just one of their last four games in all competitions.
The Black Stars cannot afford another loss or they could be heading out of the competition early.
The defeat in their opener ended a run of four games unbeaten in 90 minutes at the African Cup of Nations for Ghana. The game continued a low-scoring trend at the AFCON for the Black Stars, as their last four matches in the competition have produced under 2.5 goals.
Midfielder Mohamed Kudus could once again miss out, after missing the opening game of the tournament.
Forebet predicts that this game will follow the low-scoring theme at the African Cup of Nations and produce a goalless draw.
