Can Ghana Handle Central African Republic as They Did Mali?
Group I matches are reaching their climax. Although everyone feared that favorites Mali would win against our Ghanaian team, it didn’t happen, and we at ChampionBet celebrated! However, it’s not time to pop the champagne yet, as tonight we face another crucial match against the Central African Republic in the CAF World Cup qualifiers.
During the dramatic match against Mali, which our team won 2:1, it was very tense. Thanks to goals from Ernest Nuamah and Jordan Ayew, our players secured three vital points and moved to third place in the group, with the same points as leaders Madagascar and second-placed Comoros. Will we take the top spot today? You can bet on the match HERE.
Our Ghanaian team has definitely improved under the leadership of Otto Addo, who replaced Chris Hughton. After the disappointing performance in the last African Cup of Nations, where they didn’t even advance from the group stage, our team has a chance to show their worth and advance to the World Cup!
The Central African Republic is currently in great form. They haven’t lost in the last four matches, scoring 12 goals and conceding only one. However, they will have to try even harder today because our team is on a roll after the victory over Mali and the game is played on a pitch where the Central African Republic last lost in September.
In today’s match, we will be missing Inaki Williams, Joseph Paintsil, Majeed Ashimeru, Baba Iddrisu, Nathaniel Adjei, Denis Odoi, and Daniel Amartey due to injuries. Otto is relying on young talents like Mohammed Kudus, Antoine Semenyo, and Ernest Nuamah.
Today’s match is very important for Ghana, and we hope all our bettors and fans will support our team with unwavering faith! If you’re betting on our team’s victory, you can do so on ChampionBet, where you’ll always find the best odds. We will keep bringing you regular updates on our blog.
Will Our Team Overcome Today’s Tough Challenge
The highly anticipated match is set to take place tonight at Stade 26 Mars! Our Ghanaian players are gearing up to face Mali in the third round of the CAF World Cup qualifiers, promising a thrilling showdown. ChampionBet will be there to capture every moment of this high-stakes game. If you haven’t placed your bet yet, you can do so HERE.
Mali is currently second in Group I with 4 points after the first two matches, while Ghana is fourth with 3 points. Mali has been one of the most improved teams in Africa over the last two years and is favored to win their group, which could secure their historic first World Cup qualification. At the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, they led their group with 5 points, including a win over South Africa and a draw with Tunisia. They knocked out Burkina Faso in the round of 16 and led against Ivory Coast in the quarterfinals before losing in extra time. In the World Cup qualifiers, they defeated Chad and drew with Central Africa. They have only lost one match since March 2023 and have been unbeaten at home since March 2022.
At AFCON 2023, we didn’t make it out of the group stage, losing to Cape Verde and drawing with Egypt and Mozambique, but we still believe in our team to turn things around this year. New coach Otto Addo hasn’t won a match with the team yet, but he has made several critical changes for today’s match – dropping captain Andre Ayew and calling up young talents like Ibrahim Sulemana and Brandon Thomas-Asante. Mali is in much better shape, and its gameplay is much faster. However, we firmly believe that we can still win, and what about you?

Ghana: Ati-Zigi; Lamptey, Djiku, Salisu, Mensah; Owusu, Partey, Issahaku, Kudus, J Ayew; Semenyo
