We said: Ghana 0-2 Nigeria

Fresh off the back of a disappointing run at the Africa Cup of Nations, Ghana will be seeking to restore some pride and claim bragging rights over their West African counterparts.

We predict Nigeria will come away with a slender win, giving the Black Stars an uphill task in the return leg. Read more.
