Comoros vs Ghana Prediction and Betting Tips | 21st November 2023
Comoros host Ghana at the Stade de Moroni in Moroni on Tuesday in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, looking to build on their opening day victory.
Les Coelacantes beat Central African Republic 4-2 on Friday to begin their campaign with all three points.
An own goal from Abdel-Hakim Abdallah had put Central African Republic in front, but Kassim M'Dahoma, Benjaloud Youssouf, Rafiki Said and Myziane Maolida struck apiece to put the hosts 4-1 up. Another own goal from Younn Zahary reduced their deficit, but Comoros nonetheless prevailed to secure all three points.
Ranked 128th in the world, Comoros, who have never qualified for the World Cup before, now sit atop Group I ahead of Mali by virtue of the number of goals scored.
Ghana are in third, but also began their qualifiers with a win, beating Madagascar in a narrow 1-0 result. Athletic Bilbao star Inaki Williams struck the only goal of the game in the 96th minute, deep into stoppage-time, to save the Black Stars the blushes.
The West African side also returned to winning ways after consecutive losses last month to Mexico (2-0) and the USA (4-0) in a pair of disappointing friendlies.
