This implies all teams in group E of the qualifiers Madagascar excluded all stand a chance of making it to the competition.

Ghana have however not impressed in their last three matches where they have won one and drawn the other two and they are looking to step up in order to book their place at the tournament.

The Chris Hughton-led team are aiming at reaching the tournament and trying to end their over forty-year trophy drought.

They last won the AFCON in 1982 and have since then been in three finals which all ended up in defeats.
