Ghana coach Maxwell Konadu is confident the home-based national team will progress from the Group stage of the Wafu Nations Cup ahead of Monday's final round of matches.

The local Black Stars have the dice loaded against them and must beat leaders Burkina Faso on Monday afternoon to reach the medal zone.

Ghana were put in a tight corner after the shock 1-0 defeat to Benin on Saturday in their second Group A match.

They face a tall order now but Konadu is not giving up.

"I don't think it's over. Anything can happen in the next game. We need to prepare very well and and try to beat Burkina [Faso]," Konadu said.

"Apart from that we don't have a chance of moving to the final.

He added that: "We have to work on our boys, physically and mentally. We have to psyche them very well. Some have been in this situation for quite too long time and at this level you can't just take the laws into your hands. We have psyche them and make sure it doesn't happen again.

"This is a preparatory tournament for us. The bigger picture is the one [CHAN] in South Africa."

The winner of the group will progress to the final and meet the top side from Group B while the second placed team in each group will vie for third position.
