In a bold tactical move, the head coach has opted to start Inaki Williams ahead of Jordan Ayew, a decision that seem to have sent ripples through the fanbase. Inaki, who came off the bench in their previous encounter against Angola, and showed flashes of brilliance, making the coaching staff believe he was ready to lead the line in the next game.

For the balck stars, the stakes are high. They are determined to secure a positive result and keep their qualification hopes alive. In the midfield, another change was made: Elisha Owusu, who had played in the first match, is replaced by Majeed Ashimeru. The coach felt that Ashimeru’s creativity and vision would be key in unlocking the stubborn Niger defense.

This is the list of starting Eleven.
