This defensive unit delivered Ghana’s first clean sheet of 2024, so its no surprise Addo has stuck with them in Benina.Ghana needs a win to move into second place in the qualifying group after two draws and a loss in their last three games. A draw or loss will be unfavourable, putting additional pressure on the team to secure a much-needed victory.
