Ghana fans are not counting down to Sunday's World Cup qualifier with Benin with much expectation as the previous round of games. The Black Stars head into the penultimate game away in Cotonou over the weekend as the only country on the continent to have booked their place at next year’s showpiece though South Africa by virtue of being host are automatic qualifiers for the World Cup. Ghana became the first African nation to make it to the World Cup finals after they defeated Sudan 2-0 in the Group D qualifiers in Accra last month. Though there might be nothing to play for in terms of qualifying, Black Stars coach Milovan Rajevac has declared that he expects the team to maintain their high standards. "Well, we have qualified already which relieves the pressure off us. It has been a difficult campaign so far. But I expect them (team) to play to their best and keep our winning mentality going," the Ghana coach told journalists. The team will be looking to extend their winning run in the qualifiers, having won all four games and also kept a clean sheet in all matches. "Our record so far gives us confidence that we can play with at a higher level and win. "Benin will be playing at home and that would be difficult. I expect us to continue playing well and looking to improve. "We have qualified but the campaign is not over. We have to show respect to our opponents and keep our record," Rajevac added. The Black Stars sit top of Group D, seven points clear in the qualifiers. Milovan Rajevac this week named a 20-man squad to face Benin as the African qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup reaches the penultimate stage. Ghana’s squad for the pre-final qualifier in Group D sees Rajevac ring the changes. Jonathan Quartey, Moussa Narry and Samuel Kyere all return to be part of the squad after missing out in previous matches, while striker Yaw Antwi and Rahim Ayew get the call for a World Cup qualifier.
