Head coach of the Central African Republic (CAR) Raoul Savoy has hinted his side could pull a surprise on the Black Stars on Thursday when the pair meet.
The two teams meet in the final round of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers at the Baba Yara Stadium with a slot for the competition at stake.
The Black Stars need a point to book their ticket to Ivory Coast while CAR are in need of a win to also qualify from Group E.
Ghana has been tipped as the favourites for the game but Savoy has cautioned Ghanaians of underrating his side.
"Nigeria never expected us to beat them at home but we did," he told the media during Wednesday's press conference ahead of the game.
"You never know [what we can do]. I have respect for Ghana because they are far better than us as a football nation but football is the most lovely game in the world because every time, every day you have surprises."
The game at the Baba Yara Stadium is scheduled for a 16:00 GMT kickoff and the Ghana will be without the services of Genk forward Joseph Paintsil.
