Ghana's attack is the concern
Mamadou Yalcouyé scored before half-time for Côte d'Ivoire, with Franck Kessié's penalty completing Ghana's 2-0 defeat. It followed losses of 1-0 and 2-1 in the Black Stars' previous two matches.
Returning to Accra should help, but it does not resolve the recent shortage of goals. Ghana have now gone two full matches without scoring, and Kamaldeen Sulemana is unavailable through injury.
Gambia found a late winner
Colley's penalty gave Gambia an early lead against Somalia. After conceding an equaliser in the 72nd minute, they responded through Badamosi in the 83rd to take all three points.
That was not a dominant scoreline against modest opposition. Gambia also conceded three in each of their two preceding matches, so there is a clear route for Ghana to improve their scoring record here.
Gambia's defence gives Ghana an opening
Gambia's defensive form makes the outright away win at @5.40 less attractive to us than double chance. The appeal is principally Ghana's difficulty scoring, not a claim that Gambia have suddenly become a formidable defensive side.
At @2.07, the draw-inclusive selection gives us a position against hosts who have scored once in three games. Gambia's two goals on Friday at least provide a recent attacking response if Ghana do find the net.
Verdict
Take Gambia or draw @2.07. Ghana's current scoring problems make the home price too short for us.
