With Ghana playing as the visiting team, Otto Addo compared the magnitude of the upcoming game to the 2022 crucial World Cup qualifying game the Black Stars played against Nigeria in Abuja.
"Like I said, it's going to be difficult. I compare this match a little bit to when I started when we played against Nigeria. We had two matches there, and we needed to qualify, and we qualified. This is also going to be a very, very tough match away in Mali," he said.
