Angola – Ghana: 1xBet weighs the chances of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifications participants 

The global betting company 1xBet has collected information about the most interesting qualifying match that will be held on March 27 and is ready to share with football betting fans.

How was the first match played?

It will be Ghana and Angola’s second qualification game of the week. The first was at the packed Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi, where the hosts got a minimal victory. The only goal was scored in the last minutes: after a free-kick from the flank, Antoine Semenyo turned out to be the most agile – he sent the ball into the net with a powerful shot from the goalkeeper’s area.

Ghana’s new history 

That struggle began a new era for Irish coach Chris Hughton, who has high hopes in Ghana. The Black Stars want to forget the World Cup in Qatar, where they finished last in the group. After it, the national team manager Otto Addo decided not to renew his contract with the team and continued his career as an assistant manager of Borussia Dortmund.

The national team players know Hughton well – after all, he was the Black Stars’ technical director for about a year. Previously, he worked in the Premier League, where he trained Newcastle, Birmingham, Norwich, Brighton and Nottingham Forest since the late 1990s. Great experience, excellent selection of players – what else do you need to win?

In the Africa Cup of Nations, the four-time champions started their qualifying campaign with a 3-0 Madagascar destruction but quickly fizzled out and drew 1-1 with the Central African Republic four days later.

Hughton will not be short of talents before the return leg against Ghana. Experienced Iñaki Williams of Athletic Bilbao will lead the English Premier League trio of Arsenal’s Thomas Partey, Leicester’s Daniel Amartey and Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo. Also noteworthy is Mohammed Kudus, an Ajax star and the Ghanaian football academy Right to Dream graduate, who has already scored 12 goals in the Eredivisie this season.

Angola national team: to bring back the past

Ghana’s coach can, for now, keep Premier League players from the starting XI, but Angola does not allow itself such a luxury – this team appreciates every player from European and Asian clubs. Forwards M’Bala Nzola from Spezia, Jacinto Gelson Dala from Al-Wakrah, and midfielder Manuel Cafumana from Ludogorets are to improve the situation. The 26-year-old forward Nzola deserves special attention: in Serie A, which this season can regain the international prestige of the old days, this guy scored 12 goals and provided two assists. Victor Osimhen from Napoli and Lautaro Martinez from Inter are above him in the league’s best scorers list, and the phenomenal Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Napoli scored the same number.

Before the match with Ghana, Angola also scored four points out of six possible. After starting with a 2-1 victory over the Central African Republic, the squad lost points in the 1-1 game against Madagascar.

Tournament situation

Ghana and Angola are separated by three points at the top of Group E, which makes this duel very interesting and possibly decisive in the race for first place in the group. That’s why the reliable bookmaker 1xBet offers the highest odds on this game. Support your favorite team and be a part of its success in the Africa Cup of Nations!
