Congo has won only one out of 10 recent encounters with the no-win series counting for eight clashes and has been lasting since the 9th of October 2016. Congo finished last three fights with draws including 1:1 draw against Ghana at away ground on the 1st of September.

With one of the best squads in Africa, Ghana is not doing so well in its last clashes, having earned two victories with three draws and five defeats in 10 encounters. After the first lap of the qualifying round Ghana has only two points with 1-3 goal difference and misty chances for winning the Group E as there is a five-point gap between Ghana and Uganda which is leading the group. In its single match on the road Ghana was broken 0:2 by Egypt.
Ghana and Congo have met seven times in their history with six wins earned by Ghana and only one time in the most recent head-to-head it was unable to beat the Congolese team which was always a suitable opponent for it. The forthcoming battle is much decisive one for both teams in terms of continuing chase for a pass to Russia and I believe that the visiting side's class must become a crucial factor in the game which will bring a victory to Ghana.
Prediction for the match: Ghana to win.
