Former Ghana winger Yaw Preko has offered some tactical insights into Ghana’s upcoming doubleheader against Nigeria in the 2022 Qatar World Cup play-off.
Yaw Preko believes that discipline and confidence will be key in getting the Black Stars to beat the Super Eagles. He expects the Super Eagles to play expansive football as they did in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
Yaw Preko envisions Simon Moses and Samuel Chukwueze running the flanks and warn against the threat of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. Osimhen missed the AFCON due to injury and Yaw Preko believes that his comeback against Ghana could be the deciding factor in the tie.
The ex-Ghana winger is however confident that the Black Stars would get one over the Super Eagles as the team would want to make amends to the poor performance in Cameroon.
Yaw Preko tasked Thomas Partey and Jordan Ayew to use the two matches as a way of winning some love from Ghanaians.
Ghana will host Nigeria on Friday, March 25, 2022 at the Cape Coast Stadium for the first leg of the tie. On March 29 at the MKO Abiola Stadium, Abuja, the two rivals will square it off for a place in the 2022 World Cup which will be held in Qatar.
