Ghana will put forward a feared attacking line up when they play Rwanda next week as coach Avram Grant switches his tactics, Ghanasoccernet.com understands.

The Israeli manager will deploy the feared duo of Chelsea star Baba Rahman and Leicester City utility man on the left side of the Black Stars midfield.

This means playmaker Andre Ayew who normally attacks from the left will play behind strikers Asamoah Gyan and Jordan Ayew.

With Baba and Schlupp capable of playing defensively and offensively from the left, Grant will the duo the chance to operate from there. The will comfortably complement each other creating fear in the defence of Rwanda like they are capable of doing on the world's most popular league.

This means Andre will move to the center where he is also deadly as he offers support to Ayew and his younger brother.

With a solid midfield manned by Wakaso and Afriyie Acquah while the very effective Harrison Afful and talented Christian Atsu playing from the right the headache of Rwanda will increase. The center back pair of John Boye and Jonathan Mensah looks as solid as ever and goalkeeper Razak Brimah in excellent form in Spain the Black Stars are fancied for an emphatic victory in Kigali.

However, the prospect of a shock by the home side is still alive thanks to the confidence of wins in their last two matches over Mozambique  and Ethiopia .

The Amavubi recorded a impressive away win over group opponents Mozambique with a l9ne goal and announced their readiness to surprise the Black Stars of Ghana with a 3-1 home win over Ethiopia in a friendly.

Rwanda will host the Black Stars on the 3rd of September in the 2nd group game of the 2017 Afcon qualifies.
