Somalia captain Abdulsamed Abdullahi says Ghana will be a difficult team to beat but insists his side is ready to fight for a good result in Thursday's 2027 AFCON qualifier at the Essipong Sports Stadium in Takoradi.
Both teams are seeking their first points in Group C after losing their opening two matches. Ghana suffered defeats to Côte d’Ivoire and The Gambia, while Somalia also lost to the same opponents.
Abdullahi says the Ocean Stars have prepared well for the encounter and are determined to challenge the Black Stars.
"We have been here in Ghana for three days, and we have prepared ourselves. About the game, we know we have a tough opponent ahead tomorrow. But we are ready to put up a really good fight and go for a result," he said.
"So, that's what I have in mind for tomorrow."
Interim coach Kim Lars Björkegren will lead Ghana into the clash, knowing that victory is crucial to keeping their AFCON 2027 qualification hopes alive.
The two teams will meet again on Monday, November 16, at the same venue for the return fixture.
