Madagascar vs Ghana prediction, H2H and probable lineups - March 24, 2025
One of the matches of the sixth round of World Cup qualification will be played on Monday in Moroccan Al Hoceima, where the Madagascar national team will host Ghana. We suggest betting on the outcome of this match with good chances of success.
Match preview
The "Bears" are having an excellent World Cup qualification and are literally one step away from reaching the main football tournament. After five rounds, the Madagascar team is in second place in their group, trailing Ghana by two points and having a one-point lead over the Comoros Islands.
In the last round, Madagascar defeated the Central African Republic 4-1 away. This victory extended their unbeaten streak to four matches in the qualifiers – three wins and one draw. However, their home matches are played on neutral grounds – with a win over the Comoros Islands and a draw with Mali. In the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, Madagascar finished last in their group, collecting only two points.
Meanwhile, the Ghana team is currently in first place in the group, having secured four wins and one loss in five rounds. The tournament standing is precarious, as the "Black Stars" barely beat Madagascar at home in the first leg, scoring the only goal in the sixth minute of stoppage time.
Last week, Ghana hosted Chad at home and thrashed their opponent 5-0. However, before that, in the African Nations Championship, Ghana lost the final clash to Nigeria. It's worth noting that Ghana missed out on the Africa Cup of Nations, finishing last in the qualifiers.
Probable lineups
- Madagascar: Leighton; Rabemanantsoa, Demoleon, Fontaine, Boto; Raveloson, Amada, Couturier, Ilaimaharitra; Keddy, Ponti
- Ghana: Nurudin, Yegbe, Simpson, Adjei, Afful, Francis, Sulemana, Schindler, Kudus, Nuamah, Konigsdorffer
