The West African rivals will face off in the final qualifying round in late March with the winner progressing to the World Cup slated for November this year.

However, Mensah, who led Asante Kotoko for four years and now heads Ghana Rugby, is optimistic the Black Stars will overcome the Eagles.
“We need to look and build, say this was a disaster, we have Nigeria next, and we have a country that traditionally we beat or we frustrate. Do we have what it takes to beat Nigeria? I think we do.”
Ghana will host Nigeria for the first leg before travelling to Abuja for the reverse fixture.
