Angola enters this match with solid momentum, having secured six wins in a recent unbeaten streak at home, which should boost their confidence. Ghana, on the other hand, has struggled in away games at this level of the Africa Cup of Nations, going winless in 11 matches with nine losses.
Angola’s last ten games have all stayed under 3.5 goals, and Ghana’s last 13 matches at this level have followed the same low-scoring pattern, suggesting a similar outcome here.
In Angola’s previous 17 home matches, at least one team has kept a clean sheet 13 times, making high-scoring encounters rare at this venue. Likewise, Angola’s last 17 away games in the tournament have seen low scores, including a previous win at this stadium.
Prediction
Ghana has had just five away matches in their last 21 Africa Cup of Nations games where both teams scored. Meanwhile, 13 of Angola’s last 18 games at this level have involved at least one team keeping a clean sheet, so it’s likely we won’t see both teams on the scoresheet.
Prediction: Angola 2 – 0 Ghana
