Black Queens midfielder Priscilla Okyere expects a hostile and partisan crowd when they take on Cameroon in Tuesday's Africa Women Cup of Nations semi-final but confident they will withstand.

The Indomitable Lionesses  are counting on the massive home support to beat the Queens to reach the final.

Cameroon have beaten Ghana once in their  six meetings and go into the match on the back of three wins at the Group stage.

OKyere, who beat Cameroon at the youth level, is positive her teammates can overcome the challenges.

"For sure their fans will turn up in their numbers not just to support their team but also to make us feel intimidated. That will be a failed ploy because we are used to pkaying infront of huge crowds,'' she said.

"All that matters when we get to the pitch is 11 players against 11 players on the other side. Psychologically, coach has told us to tune our minds off to the crowd.

''Our only concern is to have fair officiating and even that we will play to tge referee's whistle as we don't want to be distracted in any way.

"Being confident of victory  is not underrating the Camerounians, but at this moment, the pressure is on them to deliver victory to their home fans."
