Black Stars Head Coach, C.K Akonnor is aiming for victory in South Africa to secure qualification for the 2022 AFCON tournament on Thursday.

Both Ghana and Bafana are currently tied on nine points each atop the standings ahead of the showdown. Ghana, though, sit superior due to a better goal aggregate.

Akonnor believes both teams have similar quality and expects a competitive clash.

“As much as we are a threat to them, they are also a threat to us.” Akonnor said.

“It’s all about how we organize ourselves and deliver.

“We want to try and qualify in that game before we return for the Sao Tome game.

“So we’ll see, the team that is well organized and plays intelligent football.

“There are a few details that we need to work on. The difference between the two teams is not much and so we want to be clever in that sense and go in there and qualify.” He concluded.

Akonnor has a lot of worries going into the Group C penultimate match in Johannesburg, as regular starters Captain Andre Ayew, his brother Jordan Ayew as well as Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey  have all sat out the match owing to COVID-19 restrictions.

The game is scheduled for 16:00GMT on Thursday at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg.
