Ghana vs Nigeria: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news and h2h results

Ghana and Nigeria clash tonight in the first leg of their heavyweight World Cup play-off tie.

The Black Stars are at home in Kumasi first and will look to put a terrible Africa Cup of Nations behind them. They finished bottom of their group, managing just a single point from three matches, with Andre Ayew dismissed as they bowed out with an embarrassing defeat to lowly Comoros.

Nigeria made it out of their group in Cameroon playing some fine attacking football, though promptly suffered a last-16 defeat to Tunisia. They had some more impressive performances though and will fancy their chances of booking a spot in Qatar later this year.

Ghana vs Nigeria prediction

Ghana had an AFCON campaign to forget, and they’ll be hoping they can forget about it as they try and secure their place in Qatar.

Nigeria were better than their last-16 exit suggested and look to have the edge in quality that could have them a win to take home for the second leg.
