Angola will be looking to maintain their near-perfect record in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers when they welcome Ghana to Estadio 11 de Novembro on Friday. Ghana, meanwhile, will make the trip to Luanda in search of a much-needed victory to preserve their already faint chances of making it through to next year's continental event alive. Midfielder Aldair Ferreira has been called up by Angola for the first time and could be handed his international debut in Friday's encounter against Ghana.
Skipper Fredy is closing in on his 60th cap for the home side and is on course to become just the 11th player in his nation's history and the first among active players to reach the milestone. Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey headlines the list of unavailable players for Ghana, with Antoine Semenyo , Inaki Williams , Ibrahim Osman and Tariq Lamptey also set to miss out. Osman Bukari has benefitted from the aforementioned absentees by returning to the first-team picture, and the 25-year-old will be looking to come up with the goods.
Star attacker Mohammed Kudus is set to return to action for the first time since October 19 having missed each of West Ham's most recent three matches through suspension. Angola possible starting lineup: Neblu; Fortuna, Gaspar, Bastos, Carneiro; Show, Maestro, Fredy; Milson, Mabululu, Luvumbo Ghana possible starting lineup: Ati-Zigi; Mensah, Seidu, Aidoo, Opoku; Sulemana, Kudus, Simpson; Ayew, Fatawu, Paintsil Ghana are currently having to deal with a host of absentees, and a victory in Friday's encounter poses a stern challenge. We are backing a share of the spoils with honours even at the end of the 90 minutes.
