Ghana dismayed at their performance in the recently concluded African Cup of Nations tourney turn their sights to this do-or-die world cup tie, against rivals Nigeria after narrowly clinching first place in Group G of the qualifiers. 

On the other hand, Nigeria head into Friday’s match fresh off the back of a shock exit from the AFCON at the Round of 16 stage at the hands of Tunisia.
