Ghana vs Nigeria Predictions

This is a tough one to call with neither side at full strength. However, Ghana have certainly had better recent form, despite losing to the Super Eagles in 2024. I am backing a home win to nil.

Head to Head

Over the last seven matches between these sides, Nigeria have won two, Ghana one and there have been four draws.

Ghana Form

Ghana come into this friendly in very good form and although they are not at full strength, will be looking for a result to keep some momentum going.

In September they have four more World Cup qualifiers but after winning their first four games of the campaign, they are looking strong in that group.

Most recently, Ghana played in March 2025, beating Chad 5-0 at home and Madagascar 3-0 away from home. In December last year, Ghana did lose 3-1 in Nigeria during the African Nations Championship.

Nigeria Form

Nigeria have been inconsistent over the last 12 months, failing to reach the heights they had previously set. Their last game ended in a 1-1 draw at home against Zimbabwe in a World Cup qualifier.

They defeated Rwanda away in the match before than and also beat Ghana late in 2024. However, that was with mostly locally based players.

This week, Nigeria will not have all their stars from Europe available.

Verdict

Ghana v Nigeria

Ghana are backed to win to nil. A 1-0 scoreline offers good value.
