Madagascar vs Ghana Preview and Team News
Madagascar Team News
Madagascar are at the top of Group I in their World Qualifiers campaign. They’re unbeaten in their last four games, winning three and drawing once. They’ve hauled 10 points and lead Ghana by 1 in the group.
They’re also the highest scorers with nine goals and the meanest defence, conceding only 3 times. Last time out, Madagascar were the dominant 1-4 winners against the Central African Republic. They’ll look to extend their good form.
This commanding start to the group campaign will be fiercely tested when they take on Ghana on Monday. Both sides will be desperate for a win, which will bolster their qualifying chances.
Madagascar have not reported any new injury woes ahead of Monday’s match. This will come as a boost for the gaffer as he aims for five unbeaten WC qualifying events.
Madagascar Predicted Lineup vs Ghana (4-5-1): Dupire; Morgan, Fontaine, Marcelin, Rabemanantsoa; Lapoussin, Couturier, IIaimaharitra, Raveloson, Randrianantenaina; Caddy.
Ghana Team News
Ghana are second in the group, having played one less match than Madagascar, ahead of their clash with Chad on Friday night.
Three wins and a defeat means that the squad have hauled 9 points out of the available 12. In their most recent encounter, they were on the losing side of a 3-1 scoreline against Nigeria in the African Nations Championship qualification second leg. They lost 3-1 on aggregate.
Ghana’s most recent World Cup qualifiers were back in June 2024. They were the 4-3 winners in an absorbing match against Central African Republic.
Ghana will take the top spot outright in Group I with a win against Madagascar as the competition intensifies.
The West African club will be bolstered by a fully fit squad leading up to their doubleheader against Chad and Madagascar.
Ghana Predicted Lineup vs Madagascar (4-2-3-1): Zigi; Mensah, Dijku, Salisu, Opoku; Partey, Owusu; Semenyo, Kudus, Williams; Ayew.
Bet hereMadagascar vs Ghana Prediction
- Pick: Draw
- Score prediction: Madagascar 1-1 Ghana
Madagascar and Ghana have been in good form in Group I. The two sides have shown significant firepower in attack and solidity in defence.
Given that the top of the table is at stake, I anticipate them both being pragmatic in their approach. This will result in a closely contested and cagey matchup.
Both clubs have the tactical dynamism and the quality to cancel each other out, with a draw as a safe football pick for this clash.
Madagascar vs Ghana Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Goals in Both Halves
This encounter will be overly tactical. I think Madagascar’s 4-5-1 formation will add an extra body into their midfield in search of superiority in numbers and control of the game. Ghana’s 4-2-3-1 stance will offer two double-pivot midfielders, providing more protection to the defence.
These tactical variations mean both teams will play narrow and deep when out of possession, making chances tricky to create, even in transitions.
The result is that the goals will be rare and likely distributed between the first and second halves.
