Ghana will host Benin on Sunday afternoon at the Cape Coast Stadium in the first leg of the 2023 African Nations Championship qualifiers.
The Black Galaxies looked really poised for nothing but a huge win this time and will ultimately set sights on making it into the main competition, having missed out in the last three editions.
The Squirrels on the other hand, have never made it to the main tourney in their history and will be looking forward to securing qualification this time around.
Coach Annor Walker's men have been in camp for almost two months now and have been training intensively knowing the what is at stake for them and equally the expectations.
The home-based national team have taken out every club they have played so far in their friendlies with lower-tier side Ali Royals Academy being their last victims after humiliating them by 5-0 to wrap up their preparations.
TEAM NEWS
The selection of who to start in goal will definitely be a headache for the technical team but Danlad Ibrahim is most likely to get the nod due to experience.
Imoro Ibrahim and Michael Ampadu are expected to play together as the laterals with Mohammed Alhassan being the constant figure in the heart of defence and could pair one of Osei Kuffour, Konadu Yiadom or Vincent Atinga.
Skipper Gladson Awako will also command a starting berth so as his teammate Daniel Afriyie Barnieh who has been amazing throughout the preparations.
Black Galaxies probable XI
Danlad Ibrahim, Michael Ampadu, Imoro Ibrahim, Osei Kuffour, Mohammed Alhassan, Razak Kasim, Gladson Awako (C), Suraj Seidu, Jonah Attuquaye, Daniel Afriyie Barnieh and Maxwell Abbey Quaye
