Ghana vs Madagascar - Preview & Predictions | 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifying (CAF)

KEY STATS

·        Ghana’s last defeat in a FIFA World Cup qualifying match in Ghana was in January 2001 (L 3-1 v Liberia) W20 D7 since then.

·        Ghana have lost only one of their last 12 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches (W5 D6).

·        Madagascar have lost only one of their previous five matches against Ghana (W2 D2).

Madagascar have won only one of their last nine FIFA World Cup qualifying matches (D3 L5).

THE PREDICTION

Following their exit at the group stages of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Technical Director Chris Hughton became the Ghana manager but The Black Stars have had a difficult 2023. Their 4-0 hammering at the hands of the United States last month means they have won just four of ten matches with those victories coming against Madagascar, Angola, the Central African Republic and Liberia. They now face one of those sides with Madagascar in similarly indifferent form. They managed to defeat Benin last month to end a five-match winless run but the Ghanaians will still be expected to get over the line in Accra.

BETTING TIP: GHANA TO WIN TO NIL
