AFCON 2025 Qualifiers: Ghana Aims For Redemption Against Niger Today

Ghana’s hopes for a successful 2025 Africa Cup of Nations campaign suffered a major setback last Thursday when they were unexpectedly defeated by Angola at the Baba Yara Stadium.

The loss, which came in the dying minutes of the match, shattered a 24-year unbeaten record at their home ground and left fans reeling.

Determined to bounce back from this disappointing result, the Black Stars will face Niger in their second-round qualifier on Monday.

The match will take place at the Stade Municipal de Berkane in Morocco.

Joseph Paintsil and Jerome Opoku have withdrawn due to visa issues and injury, respectively.

However, the likes of Thomas Partey, Mohammed Kudus, Jordan Ayew, and Mohammed Salisu are expected to feature.

Coach Otto Addo is anticipated to make some changes to his starting lineup in an effort to secure a victory.

The Ghanaian tactician is likely to adopt a more attacking approach in order to dominate possession and create scoring opportunities.

Niger, on the other hand, will be looking to improve upon their narrow loss to Sudan in their opening match.
