*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Ghana have no wins in the qualifying rounds of AFCON 2025. With only one game left to play, it is impossible for the Black Stars to advance to Africa's biggest football competition.
Unlike their opponents, Niger can qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations if they win this match. However, they would also require Angola to beat Sudan on Monday evening.
Although Ghana have nothing left to play for, the Black Stars are the expected winners at 4/11 (1.36). Teams with these odds generally have a 73.3% probability of winning.

It is also worth mentioning that both teams were on the scoresheet in nine of Ghana's last 12 matches. On that note, BTTS – Yes has an appealing look at 29/20 (2.45). That one has a 40.8% chance of landing.
Most recent H2Hs: A one-sided contest
Despite their recent struggles, Ghana have an excellent track record against Niger. They have 11 wins in 15 previous skirmishes between these outfits, with two draws and two defeats. However, it is fair to point out that Niger have not lost to Ghana since January 2013.
