Angola vs Ghana Preview
- Date: Friday, November 15
- Kick-off Time: 7:00 pm GMT
- Venue: Estadio 11 de Novembro, Luanda
Angola and Ghana will clash against each other in matchday five of the Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers Group F. The hosts have been in tremendous form and have secured qualification to the next stage with 12 points from four matches. Ghana, on the other hand, has endured a challenging qualification process with only a couple of points in the bag. The Angola vs Ghana game will be a contest between two of the most able and talented nations in the continent of Africa.
Angola has been the surprise package of the AFCON qualifiers so far. The national team is on a six-game winning streak and has been unbeaten since the end of March. Manager, Pedro Goncalves will be delighted with his squad’s resilience, considering most of Angola’s recent victories have been decided by a single-goal margin. The Angolan National Team will also be looking forward to the upcoming World Cup qualifiers where they are just a point off the qualification spots.
Ghana’s recent form has been horrible and disappointing. The country has managed two wins, two draws, and two defeats in the last six matches. Ghana has not found the back of the net in the past two games which has eventually pushed the national side down the qualification table. Otto Addo’s men are in a good state in the World Cup qualifiers with nine points from four matches. Nevertheless, failure to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations will be a massive disappointment considering the potency in the Ghana ranks.

Key Players to Watch in Angola vs Ghana
Mohammed Kudus (Ghana)
Mohammed Kudus is one of the most versatile footballers in the world. The 24-year-old primarily functions as a right-wing for his club, West Ham but is also equally capable of slotting in the number 10 position as well as the left flank. Kudus has two goals in the Premier League this season and has appeared in 34 games for his country, scoring 11 goals. His ability to manoeuvre himself out of tight situations makes him an invaluable asset for Ghana against Angola.
Jordan Ayew (Ghana)
Ghanaian supporters will look up to Jordan Ayew in the absence of Inaki Williams. Ayew is associated with Leicester City in the Premier League. The 33-year-old made his international debut in September 2010 and has found the back of the net 28 times in 104 appearances. Ayew is expected to start up front as the main reference point and the number nine on Friday.
