Afcon qualifier: Ghana plays Angola today

The Ghana Black Stars will play Angola today for the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

The two countries are facing off at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi at 4pm today.

Head coaches Chris Hughton and Pedro Goncalves are yet to announced their starting XI.

Ahead of today’s game, Chris Hughton noted that his side is prepared for whatever the Palancas Negras’ throw at them.

“I look at my involvement in the team, the squad and association was before I was made head coach so I was aware of course as soon the campaign started and the draw was made that we will play against Angola.  So yes, as each coach will do, I have studied them in their last five, six, seven games.”

“They are technically a very good team and obviously with Portuguese influence and a lot of good technical players so I am in no doubt that they are strong and tough opposition so we have to plan for that as we will do for any opposition. But certainly they have the capabilities and very much aware that they can cause us a lot of problem and we have to be prepared for that,” he said on Wednesday while addressing the press.
