Black Stars face Comoros for World Cup qualifier today

Ghana is set to face Comoros in a crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Tuesday at 4pm. Both teams currently share three points each after securing victories in the opening round of matches in Group I.

Ghana secured a narrow 1-0 win over Madagascar with a late goal from Inaki Williams, while Comoros capitalized on home advantage to beat Central African Republic 4-2 in Moroni.

The Islanders have a recent memorable victory against Ghana, having defeated them 3-2 in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, which led to Ghana’s exit from the tournament.

Ghana’s coach, Chris Hughton, remains unbeaten in competitive games since taking over from Otto Addo. He boasts three home wins but is yet to secure a victory on the road, having drawn against Angola and Madagascar in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Hughton faces the challenge of adjusting his backline due to the injury to Daniel Amartey. However, he has several available options for selection.

The Ghanaian squad includes players such as Baba Idrissu, Samed Salis, Majeed Ashimeru, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, Andre Ayew, Jordan Ayew, and Mohammed Kudus. Inaki Williams, who scored his first international goal against Madagascar, is eager to contribute to the team’s success.

Comoros, coached by Stefano Cusin, has shown promise with three games without defeat, including a draw with Zambia and victories over Cape Verde and Central African Republic in the World Cup qualifiers.

The match is scheduled to take place at the Omnisports Sports Stadium in Moroni on Tuesday, November 21, 2023.
