Ghana vs Uruguay 6pm EAT

Ghana are playing Uruguay in their last group game at Al Janoub Stadium at 6pm (EAT). They recorded their first win against South Korea in a 3:2 entertaining encounter coming second in the Group H with 3pts.

The last time these two sides met was in the quarter-final of the first African World Cup back in 2010 when Uruguay controversially eliminated Ghana. A handball on the line by Luis Suárez at the end of the extra-time gifted Ghana the chance to claim a semi-final but having failed to convert the penalty and then subsequently being eliminated on penalties, the whole country felt cheated and Otto Addo’s men can now perhaps claim some redemption. Table leaders Portugal with 6pts take on the Koreans and Ghana will proceed to the next round if they a void a defeat against the La Celeste and also Portugal avoid defeat of more than 2goalls in the other game against the South Koreans

Camerron vs Brazil at 10pm EAT

Cameroon’s hopes of advancing from a group for the first time in 32 years were kept alive by a spirited comeback against Serbia last time. They came from 3-1 down to record a 3-3 draw. However, the five-time AFCON champions only have to win to advance in Group G but a favourable result from the Serbia and Switzerland game.

The Indomitable Lions are in the 3rd place with 1pt, serbia 4th 1 pt, switzerland 3pts and Brazil in the 1st place having 6pts.
