Black Stars of Ghana head coach, Otto Addo, has revealed the strengths and weaknesses of the Super Eagles ahead of the friendly in Marrakech, Morocco on Friday (today).
The two rivals will meet for the first time since 2022 when the Black Stars stopped the Super Eagles from qualifying for the World Cup in Qatar.
Ghana had a poor outing at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations where they were eliminated at the group stage.
The Super Eagles on the other hand made it to the final of the competition.
Despite his team’s recent slump in form, Addo hopes to pounce on the AFCON finalist’s vulnerability.
“I think we have observed them well, we know what to expect from them. They have really, really strong and experienced players, even though I guess not all of them are here. I think they have a very, very strong squad,” he said in a pre-match presser.
“We expect them to be very hard to break against the ball but also with the ball, which you saw at the African Cup of Nations, they are really, really good in offensive transmissions, they have fast players on the wings, tall players upfront who can hold the ball no matter who comes, with a really, really solid back chain so it’s going to be tough.
“But we know what we can do and we know how to play against such a host and even though they went to the final, they showed in some matches that they are vulnerable so anything can happen. I am just hoping that we get a good start and we can end this game as the winning team.”
