Ghana will have their England based stars for their final Group C game in the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers when they host Sao Tome e Principe on Sunday. Andre Ayew, Jordan Ayew and Thomas Partey were all barred from traveling to South Africa as part of the Premier League’s Covid-19 protocols that would need them to quarantine for 10 days upon return to England. As such they missed the 1-1 draw with South Africa but that result was just enough to see them book a ticket to the tournament which will be held in Cameroon. Ghana head to this game with 10 points and top of the group, while Sao tome have no point, at the bottom. The hosts have four wins in 10 going to this game but they have three straight wins at home and having scored two or more goals in each of the three. Very few teams have a better run at home in AFCON qualifiers than Ghana. Going to this game, they’re unbeaten in 14 AFCON qualification matches at home, with 11 wins therein. At home, they have four straight wins in AFCON qualifiers, all these with clean sheets, and they’ve scored 10 goals in the four matches.

Sao Tome are coming from a 2-0 loss at home to Sudan and for them, this is a dead rubber game. As expected when this draw was made, Sao Tome were going to be this group’s whipping boys and they haven’t disappointed. They’ve lost all matches in this group and have nothing to gain from this game. In their matches, Sao Tome have been very poor, losing 15 of their last 17 games. they have only one win in the last 17 away matches and in AFCON qualification matches, they have one win and a draw in 10. All the rest ended in defeat.
