2022 World Cup Qualifiers: How Ghana could line up against Nigeria

Africa Cup of Nations Qualification

Benin

Nigeria

Angola

Ghana

Against Nigeria in Friday’s first leg, it was something of a surprise as Wollacott was maintained in the posts over Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Richard Ofori, who missed the recent Africa Cup of Nations finals due to injury. Following his good showing in Kumasi, another start for the England-based goalie will shock no one on Tuesday.

GOALKEEPER - Joseph Wollacott

The former Belgium international was another unexpected face in Ghana’s XI at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium. And just like Wollacott, a good showing has seemingly cemented his place for another start over Reading right-back Andy Yiadom.

RIGHT-BACK - Denis Odoi

In the absence of the injured Baba Rahman, Bordeaux left-back Mensah was highly tipped to play against Nigeria in the first leg, and so he did. His place in the line-up is not expected to change.

LEFT-BACK - Gideon Mensah

The Leicester City centre-back was a commanding presence in central defence against the Super Eagles on Friday. Only an injury could likely keep him out of the team on Tuesday.

CENTRAL DEFENDER - Daniel Amartey

France-born Djiku is expected to keep his place as Amartey’s partner in central defence, having impressed in the position.

CENTRAL DEFENDER - Alexander Djiku

The Real Mallorca defensive midfielder conceded a penalty on Friday but was lucky to see his general good showing on the day unmarred as the video assistant referee overruled the decision. That bodes well for him to make Otto Addo’s XI again.

DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER - Iddrisu Baba

Partey did not impress as much as he was expected in the first leg. But as team captain in the absence of the suspended Andre Ayew, and by his status as Ghana’s current biggest player in Europe, he is all but set to lead the Black Stars out again on Tuesday.

CENTRAL MIDFIELDER - Thomas Partey

After a quiet first half in the first leg, the Ajax playmaker raised his game against the Super Eagles in the second half, and it appears as though he may have done enough to convince Addo for another starting role.

ATTACKING MIDFIELDER - Mohammed Kudus

With new Sporting club signing Abdul Fatawu Issahaku failing to impress on Friday, Nantes attacker Bukari, who replaced the former in Kumasi, could be picked for the first XI this time around.

RIGHT FORWARD - Osman Bukari

The Crystal Palace man was booed off the pitch in Kumasi but not even his disappointing performance is expected to relegate him to the bench for the Abuja showdown.

LEFT FORWARD - Jordan Ayew

On his debut, Roma teenager Afena-Gyan did to give a bad account of himself on Friday. After overcoming a knock which resulted in his substitution, he is expected to lead the Black Stars attack again.

CENTRE FORWARD - Felix Afena-Gyan
