Interim Ghana boss Otto Addo, who was handed the reins on the back of a disappointing showing at the Africa Cup of Nations has included six uncapped players in his squad, while national team captain Andre Ayew is suspended.

Ghana vs Nigeria: Head-to-head record
| Games played | 16 |
| Ghana wins | 5 |
| Draws | 4 |
| Nigeria wins | 6 |
Ghana and Nigeria first locked horns at the Africa Cup of Nations in 1992, when the Black Stars secured a 2-1 win.
The Super Eagles took control of proceedings at the turn of the 21st century, claiming five successive victories across World Cup, Afcon and friendly competition, but that tide has turned again in more recent times.
Nigeria have taken only one victory from their last seven clashes with Ghana, with that solitary triumph coming in September 2017.
During a back-to-back friendly double-header in that particular month, the Black Stars ran out 4-1 winners in the last meeting between the two nations.https://naijahotmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/goal-web-two-way-split-068d0cb0-4afe-447f-9ade-0a71fe919647.jpg
