Key Stats

  • Central African Republic have won only three of their previous 24 World Cup qualifying matches (D4 L17).
  • Ghana have lost only one of their last 14 World Cup qualifying matches (W9 D4). They are unbeaten in six with five wins and one draw.
  • Ghana have kept three clean sheets in their last four World Cup qualifying matches.

Central African Republic vs Ghana Prediction

With two games in Group I of CAF qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the Central African Republic have managed just one victory with two draws and five defeats in their eight matches thus far. They have regressed in the last 18 months and have been one of the weakest teams on the continent during this campaign.

They face a Ghana side that, with a star studded attack that boasts the likes of Antoine Semenyo, Mohammed Kudus and Inaki Williams, are three points clear with two games to go in Group I. The Black Stars most recently edged past Mali by a goal to nil last month, courtesy of a 49th minute Alexander Djiku winner.

Ghana head to the north of Africa as firm favourites to edge even closer to qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and perhaps even secure it if Madagascar drop points.
