Angola and Ghana meet at the Estadio 11 de Novembro in Luanda on Monday (March 27) for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Earlier this week, the two sides met on matchday three of the campaign, where the Black Stars won 1-0 at home. Antoine Semenyo scored in the sixth minute of stoppage time to hand them all three points as the west African side consolidated their position atop Group E with seven points.
Angola remained in second position, but their loss allowed the Central African Republic to close the gap, as the Wild Beasts beat Madagascar to trail the Black Antelopes on goal difference.
Trending
In all fairness, though, Ghana were the dominant side in the game, keeping 57% of possession and mustering nine times more shots on target than Angola (9-1), the last of which sealed the tie.
Chris Hughton's side, who have a tenth consecutive appearance in the AFCON in sight, might line up in the same way as last time. Angola, meanwhile, are aiming for their first participation since 2019, but another loss could jeopardise their chances.
