Desperate for redemption, Ghana clashes with dominant Egypt in a must-win Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) encounter at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny tonight.
Kick-off is set for 20:00 GMT, with both teams facing elimination staring them in the face.
Ghana, reeling from a shock defeat to Cape Verde, desperately need a turnaround. Their recent form is far from inspiring, with only one win in five games, a meagre two goals scored and a leaky defence conceding seven. Yet, the Black Stars boast immense talent and the burning desire to redeem themselves on the biggest stage.
Egypt, meanwhile, arrive with a 2-2 draw against Mozambique in their pocket. Their form over the past five games is more promising, with three wins and two draws. Their offensive firepower is undeniable, having netted 13 goals while conceding just three.
Historically, the Pharaohs hold the upper hand, winning two of the last three encounters against Ghana, with the other ending in a draw.
The stakes are crystal clear: a win keeps Ghana’s AFCON hopes alive, while victory for Egypt could propel them to the top of Group B. Expect an tense and tactical battle, with each team desperate to avoid defeat. Can Ghana rewrite their AFCON story or will Egypt reign supreme? Tune in to witness this pivotal battle for survival in the tournament.
