Madagascar vs Ghana Preview

Madagascar and Ghana lock horns at the Stade Kianja Barea Mahamasina in Antananarivo as both teams return to AFCON qualification duties. Madagascar kicked off their qualification group stage against Ghana in June 2022, where they were comfortably beaten by the four-time AFCON champions 3-0. A Gelson Dala goal then restricted the Barea to just a 1-1 draw after Rakotoharimalala had given Madagascar an early lead. Nicolas Dupuis’ men then lost both matches home and away to Central African Republic, placing them rock bottom of Group E with just 1 point in 4 matches. They head into Sunday’s game winless in six of their last seven matches with 4 losses and 2 draws in this period. Although they look down and out, Madagascar would treat this game as a must win for them to have any hopes to qualify for their second ever AFCON appearance.

Ghana contrasting to their opponents have enjoyed a decent qualification stage so far. They sit top of Group E with 8 points in 4 games, yet to be beaten by any side inn the group. They opened their qualification stage with a 3-0 victory over Sunday’s opponents, followed by a 1-1 draw against Central African Republic three days later. Chris Hughton’s side had an underwhelming Qatar campaign though, failing to make it to the knockouts, exiting the group stage by finishing bottom. A win against Angola at home and a draw away to them at Luanda in March would surely give the Black Stars momentum ahead of their last 2 qualification games. Ghana look favorites to finish top of their group and qualify for their ninth consecutive AFCON appearance and will be hoping to clinch their fifth AFCON trophy this time around.
