The four-time African champions target nothing less than a win to kick-start the campaign on a high note, after a disappointing campaigned in Cameroon earlier this year.

All invited players are fit for the match aside Celta Vigo defender, Jospeh Aidoo who suffered an injury at training.

“I have been watching some games. The two players made good impressions. It’s important to see them live in training and in the end, once we’re on the pitch, I don’t care about who is local and who is not. The performance will decide.”

On paper, Ghana is favorite to win the match but as some of the unfancied sides are growing in confidence in African football lately, Madagascar will also be fighting to be among the 23 countries to grab their places at the competition.

The match will be played at the same time as Libya takes on Botswana and new coach of the Mediterranean Knights, Corentin Martins, will be relying on home-based players in the Group J match in Benghazi just like his opponents from Southern Africa.
