Ghana kick off their Group B campaign at the Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday, as they look to get off to the best possible start when they come up against Cape Verde. Ghana will be competing for top spot in the group alongside Egypt.
The pressure on the biggest nations in the African continent will be stepped up a gear this weekend, as the 2024 edition of the Africa Cup of Nations gets underway. Ghana have been one of the most successful teams in the history of the tournament, having won the top prize on four previous occasions. However, they haven’t finished any better than second in the previous six editions.
Ghana will certainly be looking for a renewed effort in the Ivory Coast this year after crashing out in the group stage in the previous edition for the first time since 2006. It was the first time in AFCON history that they failed to win a single match at the tournament. They could also have something to find this year, as they have won just once in their last five internationals. Over that period, they have recorded just a single victory.
Cape Verde will be looking to upset the odds at AFCON this year, as they bid to make a shock run to the next stage of the competition. Cape Verde exceeded expectations to reach the round of 16 in the previous edition of the tournament, and they will be making their fourth ever appearance at the Africa Cup of Nations this year.
They should come into the tournament in good form after going two internationals without defeat. Their most recent success was a 2-0 win against Eswatini in late November.
Ghana boasts the better record in the overall clashes between these sides, having won four of the previous five. That includes a 2-0 success in the latest meeting between the sides in February 2013. Cape Verde’s only previous victory against Ghana was achieved with a 1-0 success in May 2001.
Ghana boasts the better quality across the field coming into this opening match in Group B. We fully expect them to make the best possible start to the tournament on Sunday, and we could see them capturing a 3-0 success.
