Ghana host Nigeria on Friday, March 25, at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi in the first match of their two-legged final qualifying playoff for the 2022 FIFA World.
It promises to be a pulsating encounter between two West African brothers, boasting a combined eight Africa Cup of Nations titles between them, and are acclaimed eternal rivals both on the pitch and out of it.
The battle of Kumasi will be the 50th meeting between Ghana and Nigeria since they first met in an international friendly in October 1950. And with a World Cup ticket at stake, these qualifying deciders could be the most important fixture between the two.
Kamaldeen Sulemana misses out for Ghana due to injury, while Andre Ayew is suspended in what is a huge blow for his country.
His absence means there will be even more pressure on brother Jordan Ayew to lead the line.
Francis Uzoho is expected to start in goal for Nigeria, with Maduka Okoye out through illness. Wilfried Ndidi will also be absent, after the Leicester midfielder picked up an injury that could rule him out for the rest of the season.
