Bookmaker-Ratings expert Emmanuel Adebayor has made his prediction for Thursday’s FIFA World Cup Group H match between Portugal and Ghana.
Portugal are one of the favorites for the World Cup in 2022. Cristiano Ronaldo will be looking to add this trophy to his list of career achievements. Moreover, Ronaldo has excellent prospects of breaking another world record in the match with Ghana. If he scores a goal, he will become the only football player in the world to score five World Cup Championships.
The Portuguese national team is the favorite for this match and have good prospects for the tournament. There are a lot of great players on the team, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, João Félix, Bruno Fernandes, and Diogo Dalot.
The Ghana national team are a tough nut to crack; their strengths are pressure, tackles, and endurance. Ghana, on the other hand, has failed the last two major tournaments. They did not qualify for the World Cup in Russia and were knocked out in the first playoff round of the Africa Cup 2019. In 2022, they were knocked out in the group stage of the Africa Cup of Nations. Moreover, Ghana lost even to Comoros.
This is a tricky match for Portugal with Ghana providing a tough side to beat. Ghana have youthful talent which can be active but Portugal has enough to win
I’m not going to be heavy on my motherland, I would say 2-1 for Portugal as the winners.
