Ghana and Namibia face each other in a friendly match on Sunday evening, with both teams looking to make their final preparations for AFCON 2024 in Côte d’Ivoire.
The Ghana national football team had an unbeaten run in the Afcon qualifiers, topping Group E with 12 points. Chris Hughton’s team aims to continue this momentum as they begin the competition against Cape Verde on Sunday. However, their confidence may have been shaken by their loss to Comoros in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers at the end of November.
Namibia secured a second-place finish in their group with five points, trailing group leaders Cameroon by a mere two points. Under the guidance of Collin Benjamin, they embarked on their 2026 World Cup qualifying journey with a loss to Guinea. However, their recent 2-0 victory against São Tomé and Príncipe promises to uplift their spirits as they gear up for AFCON.
Ghana vs Namibia Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Ghana is the clear favourite in this upcoming match, although they’ve been struggling with scoring recently. In their last ten matches, The Black Stars have only scored more than one goal twice, and in seven of those games, bets on less than 2.5 goals were successful.
Recent games of Namibia have caught attention primarily due to the lack of goals. From their last four matches, Collin Benjamin’s team has claimed three clean sheets, and each of these four matches ended with two or less goals.
We anticipate a tight match due to the history of games between Ghana and Namibia, which have typically not been high-scoring affairs. The previous three clashes each concluded with less than 1.5 goals. We predict a similar outcome for the upcoming game on Monday.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Ghana vs Namibia prediction: 2-0

Ghana team news
The unfortunate news for Ghana is that Thomas Partey was not included in Chris Hughton's team for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Due to injuries, Partey has been scarcely seen playing for Arsenal in the Premier League this season. The 30-year-old is presently receiving treatment.
Ghana’s squad still boasts a wealth of talent, including big names like Iñaki Williams from Athletic Club and Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United.
