Hope for favourable results
The Black Stars are hoping for favourable results away in Mali and a must-win on their home ground against the CAR to enhance their chances of qualifying for their fifth FIFA World Cup.
In the first two matches of the World Cup qualifiers, Coach Otto's boys recorded a 1-0 win against Madagascar and a 1-0 defeat against Comoros.
Ghana has dropped to fourth place on the log after the CAR defeated Chad yesterday to occupy third place.
Victories for the Black Stars against Mali in Bamako and the CAR in Kumasi will put them in a good position to qualify for the football mundial.
