Ghana sit third in Group C of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations with just one point from their opening two matches. They need to win against Comoros, their opponents on Tuesday, to stand any chance of making the Last 16.
Comoros have no points after consecutive defeats from their opening two games. The tournament debutants have failed to score a single goal so far.
Yet they, too, can still qualify for the knockout phase: if they win this match, they'll finish third in their group with three points, and will then have to wait to find out if they've sneaked through to the Last 16 as one of the best third-placed finishers.
The 'winner takes all' nature of the fixture suggests an open, entertaining encounter is likely.
Expect Ghana to take the initiative, and play on the front foot from the outset: still smarting after the late equaliser that saw them drop points against Gabon (1-1) in their last fixture, they'll be keen to put things right.
The Black Stars ought to be too strong for Comoros over the 90 minutes. With Andre Ayew, Jordan Ayew and Thomas Partey, among others, in their starting line-up, they should have too much class in key areas of the pitch. Ghana are 1.3 to win
For bigger odds, consider backing Ghana -1.0 on the Asian Handicap. With this selection, you'll get your stakes back if Ghana win by a single goal, and make a profit if they win by two or more goals.
PREM WATCH
As Ghana look to claim their place in the knockout phase, Jordan Ayew looks to get off the mark in the tournament. The Crystal Palace has yet to score since arriving in Cameroon. He's 3.5 in the market to socre against Comoros.
