Ghana have strong incentive to secure points on home turf after a tough opening loss in Ivory Coast. While their recent fixtures have been low-scoring affairs with four of the last five staying under 2.5 goals, Gambia have conceded in four of their last five matches across all competitions. Ghana should have enough defensive stability at home to avoid defeat in this group stage encounter.

Match preview
Ghana return home for their second group fixture in the AFCON Qualification campaign looking to bounce back from an opening 2-0 defeat away to Ivory Coast. The Black Stars have experienced a lean run in front of goal across recent outings, but will look to establish control on their home pitch where they secured a 1-0 win over Panama earlier in the year.
Gambia travel after a positive start to their qualification group, having earned a 2-1 victory over Somalia on home soil thanks in part to a goal from M. Badamosi. The Scorpions have shown attacking intent across recent matches, though their defensive record on the road remains an area to watch after conceding three goals in friendly trips to Iran and Senegal.
