“If you ask me, the Black Stars’ should be able to beat Tunisia easily but we should be very careful of these North African teams, they are very dangerous”.

“The coach and the players should study them very well. They like long fast football so Ghana should be able to tackle then on that very well. They can’t be underestimated but we should be able to beat them”, the former Sports Minister noted.

The match will be played at the Ismailia Stadium on Monday, July 8, 2019.
