Ghana vs Niger: Black Stars Aim for Victory in AFCON 2025 Qualifier

The highly anticipated match between Ghana and Niger in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 qualifiers is set to take place on November 18, 2024, at the Accra Sports Stadium. This encounter is part of Group F in the qualification phase, and it holds significant importance for both teams despite Ghana’s slim chances of qualifying for AFCON 2025.

Ghana, ranked 73rd in the FIFA world rankings, is favored to win against Niger, who are ranked 131st. The Black Stars have had a disappointing qualification campaign so far but are expected to finish on a high note with a home victory. The probable lineup for Ghana includes Ati-Zigi, Mensah, Seidu, Aidoo, Opoku, Sulemana, Kudus, Ayew, Simpson, Fatawu, and Paintsil in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Niger, despite their low ranking, still has a glimmer of hope to qualify for AFCON 2025 if they secure a victory over Ghana and Sudan loses to Angola. Niger’s recent form has been poor, having lost six of their previous seven competitive games, but they did manage a 4-0 home win over Sudan in their last match.

Betting odds suggest a strong likelihood of Ghana winning the match, with Betway offering odds of 1.45 for a Ghana victory, representing a 68.97% chance. Additionally, there is a 71.43% chance of Ghana scoring the first goal, according to Betway’s predictions.
