Madagascar vs Ghana Prediction

Madagascar have made the quarter-finals of the 2019 CAF Africa Cup of Nations in their first and still only ever major tournament but they have a real chance of FIFA World Cup qualification as they take on a strong Ghana side in Morocco this week.

Madagascar, inspired by Toulouse midfielder Rayan Raveloson, came from a goal down against the Central African Republic the other day to win by four goals to one with a brace from the aforementioned Raveloson as well as strikes from Arnaud Randrianantenaina and Lalaina, to keep them in the fight behind the Ghanaians ahead of the seventh match day,

Under the management of former Borussia Dortmund assistant coach Otto Addo, Ghana were poor in CAF Africa Cup of Nations qualification in the autumn but the Black Stars were much-improved the other day as they hammered by Chad by five goals to nil the other day thanks to goals from Antoine Semenyo, Inaki Williams, Jordan Ayew, Mohammed Salisu and Ernest Nuamah.

Madagascar have shown they have quality in the final third of the pitch and Ghana have an abundance of attacking quality so both teams scoring seems a good bet for this crucial qualifier.
