Angola coach Pedro Goncalves has expressed his outfit readiness to face the Black Stars at the Baba Yara Stadium on Thursday.

Ghana play host to the Palancas Negras of Angola in the 2023 AFCON qualifiers in a match many expect to be difficult as both sides seek to maintain their unbeaten start to the qualifiers.

After touching down in Kumasi, Pedro Goncalves admitted the match against Ghana will be a difficult one and thus requires a good game from his team and they are ready for that.

"We know the difficulties we are going to encounter, but we are ready to play a good game in Kumasi," he told reporters

"It is obvious that Ghana has changed coach but I believe there won't be much change in what from their performance at the World Cup."

The second leg of the qualifiers has been scheduled for Tuesday, March 27, 2023, at Estadio 11 de Novembro in Luanda.

The four-time African Champions leads the qualifying group after a draw and a win in their first two games, but Angola is close behind, and two wins will give the Black Stars a solid chance to qualify.
