Angola will face Ghana at the Estadio 11 de Novembro on Friday in another 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. The home side have breezed through their AFCON qualifying campaign and secured a spot in the final tournament next year after picking up 12 points from their first four games.
They beat Niger 1-0 last time out, with Zini scoring the sole goal of the game seconds after kick-off to secure maximum points for the Black Sable Antelopes. That result sent them to their 10th appearance in the continental showpiece.
Ghana, meanwhile, have endured a highly disappointing qualifying campaign and are one wrong result away from elimination. They were beaten 2-0 by Sudan in their last match and could have no real complaints about the result after failing to register a single shot on target in the opposition box throughout the match.
The Black Stars sit third in Group F with just two points from an obtainable 12 and must win their final two group games to retain any hopes of booking a spot in next year's tournament.

Angola vs Ghana Prediction
Angola are on an eight-game winning streak and are undefeated in their last 12 games across all competitions. They are undefeated in their last nine games on home soil and will be hopeful of extending that streak this weekend.
Ghana are on a four-game winless streak and will know they must end that poor run this weekend. They are, however, without a win away from home all year and could see their qualification ambitions come to an end on Friday.
Prediction: Angola 1-0 Ghana
