Ghana legend Mohammed Polo believes the Black Stars will need a miracle to beat their bitterest foe Nigeria in the doubleheader World Cup playoffs in order to make it to Qatar.
The former AFCON winner said considering the air of mystery shrouding the team in terms of their dip in form and the fact that the final list of players to battle the Nigerians have not been announced makes the tasks more herculean.
“Ghana chances of qualifying for the World Cup is very slim but we are praying the team can win in the first leg to raise the morale before the second leg,” 1978 Afcon winner Polo told Bryt FM.
“It is unfortunate, we don’t know what is happening in the national team. It is very worrying that the squad are not out until now, we have few days to play the game and we still don’t know the players to do the job.
“The only thing Otto Addo and other technical team members must do is to psych the players because it is not easy for us to beat Nigeria.
“Even against South Africa, the team struggled, and it took [Andre] Ayew’s penalty for us to beat them.”
Ghana host the first leg of the exchange at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi, the venue announced on Wednesday as a replacement for the Cape Coast Sports Stadium which was originally named as the ground for the game.
The reverse fixture is set for the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja four days later.
