Ghana are tipped to win to nil against Somalia in their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, with a 2-0 correct score predicted. The recommended bet is Ghana to win and under 3.5 goals, based on Ghana's strong home record—three wins in their last five home matches—and Somalia's lack of attacking threat, having scored just once in their last five away games. Both teams have lost their opening two qualifiers, but Ghana's superior quality and home advantage make them favourites to get their campaign back on track.

Ghana will be desperate to get the three points at home after losing their opening two qualifiers. At home with superior quality, I am backing them to win to nil against a Somalia side that has also lost both qualifiers to date.

Key Stats - Ghana under Pressure


  • Ghana have won 3 of their last 5 home fixtures.
  • Ghana have scored 9 goals in 5 home matches.
  • Ghana have conceded 4 goals in 5 home games.
  • Somalia have lost 3 of their last 5 away fixtures.
  • Somalia have scored 1 goal in 5 away games.
  • Somalia have conceded 4 goals in 5 away matches.

Only Two Meetings


Ghana have won both previous encounters against Somalia.

Ghana Woeful Start to qualifiers


Ghana have not had the best beginning to their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign, losing 2-0 away to Ivory Coast and 4-2 to the Gambia at home.

The Black Stars are last in the Group C standings with no points after two rounds. 

The Black Stars have lost four of their last five fixtures, with one draw. They scored three goals and conceded nine.

Ghana have secured three victories in their last five home matches, with one defeat and one draw. They scored nine goals and conceded four. 

Ghana have not been at their best in recent outings, but play their best football at home, winning three of their last five games, giving them the edge to see off Somalia and get their AFCON campaign back on track. 

Somalia Winless after Two


Somalia failed to pick up any points in their opening AFCON qualifiers in September, losing 2-1 to the Gambia and 2-0 to the Ivory Coast.

Somalia are third in the Group C table with no points from two matches.

The Ocean Stars have won one of their last five fixtures, with three defeats and one draw. They scored one goal and conceded four. 

Somalia have registered one victory in their last five away games, with three defeats and one draw. They scored one goal and conceded four. 

Somalia are winless in Group C, and must play well to beat Ghana in their own backyard, as they are lacking goals, and their hosts do have some solid form at home.
