Two-time Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) quarter-finalists Gabon opened their campaign with a 1-0 win over tournament debutants Comoros, despite having much less possession than their opponents. They might not be able to get away with that against stronger teams, and as they’ve only won one of their last nine H2Hs against Ghana (D3, L5), this should be a sterner test.
We will focus on Betway Bonus prices for our AFCON betting tips in this preview.
GABON
Considering the Gabon with just four wins since the start of 2021 (D2, L5), the ‘Panthers’ are not in great form and their win over Comoros was their first AFCON success since January 2015 (D3, L2). With the tournament low on goals so far.
However, Gabon should be boosted by the return of at least one of their two top stars, Aubameyang and Lemina, as they seek the result that could send them through to the last-16 against Ghana on Friday. The addition of one or both of these to a side that is already buoyant after the Comoros win should lift Gabon enough to give Ghana a very hard time at Stade Omnisport Ahmadou Ahidjo.
GHANA
Ghana were poor in their defeat to Morocco, creating little of note and falling to a late sucker punch after a lapse in collective concentration. This defeat saw them lose consecutive internationals (90-minute outcomes) for the first time since 2017, and they must bounce back here to put themselves in knockout qualification contention.
The Black Stars’ only win across their last eight matches outside of Ghana came against lowly Zimbabwe (D2, L5). Although with Gabon ranked 89th in the world (Ghana #52), this could be a better outcome. And with Ajax Clearing Mohammed Kudus for the AFCON, this could be the addition they just need in the squad to get a positive result.
