Ghana vs South Africa - 14/11/2019

On Thursday night, Ghana and South Africa go head-to-head in Group C of qualifying for the African Cup of Nations.
Ghana produced a rather underwhelming performance at the last African Cup of Nations, exiting the competition at the first knockout stage. However, they will be looking to produce a much better result at AFCON 2021.
The Black Stars head into this opening qualifying game on the back of a disappointing display at the African Nations Championship, where they failed to win in five games, suffering three defeats and picking up just two draws.
However, Ghana do have a strong recent record in qualifying for the African Cup of Nations, as they have suffered just one defeat in their last 11 outings, recording eight victories in the process.
The Black Stars are also unbeaten in 12 home qualifiers, having recorded nine victories in the process. The fact that they have been free-scoring in recent home qualifiers has helped their cause, as they have scored at least two goals in five of their last seven matches on home soil in qualifying.
South Africa head into this game on a poor run of form. A 2-1 win over Mali last time out ended a three-game winning run for the Bafana Bafana.
They have been difficult to beat in African Cup of Nations qualifying, as they are currently unbeaten in ten qualifiers. However, the visitors have struggled to turn draws into wins in qualifying, as they have drawn eight of their last 13 matches.
The Bafana Bafana have been difficult to beat on their travels in qualifying for the continent’s biggest tournament, though, as they are unbeaten in five qualifiers on their travels, having won three of their last four.
Forebet predicts that it will be Ghana who will get their campaign of to a winning start in a high-scoring encounter.
