Ghana v Morocco

Ghana haven't really impressed me so far this tournament. They were lucky to take all three points against Ghana, though that wonderful strike by Muntari was probably deserving of all three points. They created plenty of chances against a frankly poor Guinea defence, but were less than convincing at the back.

A battling win over Namibia was uninspiring and drew severe criticism from the Ghanaian fans and press. Ghana struggled to break down a resolute Namibian defence and could have conceded an equaliser after Namibia created several very good chances. The criticism heaped on the team after this game almost prompted the walkout of the Gyan brothers. Laryea Kingston was also booked during the match, his second of the tournament, meaning he will miss the game against Morocco. All is not well in the Ghana camp!

Morocco started the tournament with an impressive hammering of Namibia, thanks in part to Soufiane Alloudi. The Moroccan striker is still recovering from the injury picked up during that game and is rated doubtful for this game against Ghana.

Morocco's game against Guinea was played at a frantic pace, both teams creating plenty of chances, attackers were most definitely on top during this game.

Morocco have proved that they're a very attacking side this tournament, though questions remain about their defensive abilites with both Namibia and Guinea creating plenty of chances. However, the same defensive frailties can also be attributed to Ghana. The Ghanaians have a very strong work ethic with a fully fit midfield, but the absence of Laryea Kingston will be a big blow. With the unrest in the Ghana camp, I could see them being rather distracted and not all too focused on this game.
