Hughton expresses confidence in his well-prepared team, believing that they have what it takes to emerge victorious.
“We also know what it means if we are to win the game because of early qualification, so all of these things, we know but it’s down to performance on the day and so we are well prepared and I am sure we have a group of players that will do everything to win the game for us,” he told Ghana FA website.
Prior to the match, the Black Stars concluded their final training session this afternoon. The game is scheduled to kick off at 14:00 GMT.
