Fresh off emphatic victories in their respective matchday five encounters, Madagascar and Ghana's Black Stars will square off in a top-of-the-table qualifying match for the World Cup 2026 at Mimoun Al Arsi Stadium in neutral Morocco.
The Barea head into this fixture after thrashing Central African Republic 4-1, while the Black Stars dismantled Chad 5-0 in their last outing.
Black Stars head coach, Otto Addo, says the players must be 100% concentrated to stand a chance of beating Madagascar later today. Ghana is looking to build on its momentum against Madagascar after running past Chad on Friday to move atop the Group I table with 12 points.
The Black Stars hold a two-point advantage over their opponents and would open a five-point gap if they beat the Barea at 19:00 Hrs Kick-Off.
However, coach Otto Addo believes an all-hands-on-deck approach is what's needed to secure the points on Monday.
"Yeah, I think the most important thing is that I know everybody's excited, everybody was happy about our last win, but we still have a long way to go and we need everyone to be on their toes. We don't need 98 per cent, we don't need 99 per cent, we need 100 per cent. This is like a small final, and if we win this game, then we are really going to qualify, but it's going to be very, very tough.
We observed the Madagascar team and they have done really, really well especially in the last game, so they are in good form and it's going to be a tough game."
This Group I fixture is scheduled for 19:00 Hrs Kick-Off at the Mimoun Al Arsi Stadium, Morocco.
