Gave the Nation an exciting football experience two months ago against Nigeria in the World Cup Qatar 2022 qualification, the Black Stars of Ghana are once again in contention tomorrow {1st July 2022} ahead of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers welcoming Madagascar to the Cape Coast Stadium for the first round in Group E where they are grouped with the Central African Republic and Angola respectively.
And on the quest of who makes the starting lineup tomorrow and those to make progress from the bench, here is a fair idea of how Coach Otto Addo will choose his team and substitutions.
Goalkeeper
Four goalkeepers were called to represent the nation, however, it draws the line between Joseph Wallacott and Richard Ofori. Entrusted the goal line once in the hands of Wallacott in the World Cup Qualifiers against Nigeria, the Swindon Town shot-stopper is highly likely to get the nod over Ofori.
Defenders
In the lethal lines, Dennis Odoi will probably handle the right-back equilibrium with Abdul Baba-Rahman on the left-back. The reason is that Odoi and Rahman had a splendid campaign in the just-ended season with their respective clubs playing over 20 matches. With Joseph Aidoo injured, Daniel Amartey and Abdul Mumin will be the ideal pair in the centre-back. Gideon Mensah and Jonathan Mensah are all options in defence.
Midfielders
In the midfield zone, the imminent centre duo will be Iddrisu Baba and Daniel Kofi Kyereh. Captain of the side Andre Dede Ayew and Mohammed Kudus will operate from the wings. Edmund Addo and Kamaldeen Sulemana are all likely to make progress from the bench.
Attackers
Two lead forwards in a 4-4-2 system, Coach Otto Addo will entrust Felix Afena Gyan and Jordan Ayew to lead the team once again. Antoine Semenyo is new to the team and will probably make progress from the bench.
Touch on the substitutions; Gideon Mensah, Edmund Addo, Kamaldeen Sulemana and Antoine Semenyo might get a fair share against Madagascar.
How far in result do you think this lineup will cheer the Nation up tomorrow at 7:00 PM GMT?.
