Ghana vs Niger Prediction and Betting Tips | November 18th 2024 

Ghana will face Niger at the Accra Sports Stadium on Monday in the final game of their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. The home side have endured a torrid AFCON qualifying campaign and will now miss out on the final tournament for the first time since 2004 as they sit rock-bottom in Group F with just three points.

They played out a 1-1 draw against group leaders Angola last time out with team captain Jordan Ayew scoring a stunning opener less than 20 minutes after kickoff before their opponents scored a thoroughly deserved leveler midway through the second-half.

Niger, meanwhile, looked set to be headed towards elimination in their quest for a place in the continental showpiece but have been handed a lifeline after a 4-0 demolition of Sudan on Thursday. A brace from Daniel Sosah and Youssouf Oumarou's strike handed the Menas a three-goal lead heading into the break before Ousseini Badamassi completed the rout minutes after the restart.

The visitors, who sit third in the group, will be buoyed by their midweek result but know they must not only beat Ghana next week but also rely on Angola to win elsewhere if they want to clinch their first AFCON spot since 2013.

Ghana vs Niger Prediction

Ghana are on a poor five-game winless streak and have won just twice since the start of the year. They have, however, been the dominant side in this fixture historically and will be hopeful of a positive result here.

Niger's latest result ended a six-game winless streak and they will now be looking to kick on from that on Monday. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams could however see the visitors lose this one.

Prediction: Ghana 1-0 Niger
