Team Analysis
On November 18, Ghana will host Niger in a pivotal match for the Africa Cup of Nations qualification. Ghana's national team has struggled throughout the qualification process and has already been eliminated from contention for advancing to the tournament. Their recent performances have been disappointing, with a lack of victories and a mere two goals scored in five matches. This match serves as an opportunity for Ghana to redeem themselves in front of their home fans.

Niger, on the other hand, is in a critical position as they still have a slim chance of qualifying. They must secure a victory against Ghana and rely on favorable results from other matches. However, Niger has faced challenges defensively, having conceded goals in four out of five qualification matches. Despite their struggles, they have shown determination and resilience, aiming to capitalize on any opportunity to achieve their goal.

Head-to-Head
Historically, Ghana and Niger have met five times, with both teams winning two matches each, while one match ended in a draw. This balance indicates a competitive rivalry, but Ghana's current form places them as the clear favorite in this encounter.

Prediction
Given Ghana's superior experience and home advantage, they are expected to control the match. However, due to their poor attacking form, a prediction of under 1.5 total goals for Ghana seems reasonable. Niger will likely adopt a cautious approach, focusing on not conceding early, which could lead to a tightly contested game. The anticipated outcome may be a narrow victory for Ghana, potentially 1-0, reflecting both teams' recent performances and motivations. Overall, the match is expected to be low-scoring with limited goal opportunities.

Pick: Ghana Total goals Under 1.5
