Ghana To Face South Africa, Algeria, and Senegal in Group C Of AFCON

 Ghana, Algeria, South Africa and Senegal pooled together in Group C. While other groups have their clear favourites and outsiders in fairly equal measure, this one promises to be as unpredictable as they come
.
Despite being four-time champions, Ghana have much to prove. Not only have they failed to win the competition in 33 years, they also struggled to have any real say in a competitive Group G at the World Cup in Brazil even after claiming a 2-2 draw against eventual winners Germany.

Avram Grant has a very competent squad available to him, but also has less experience to hand than many Ghana coaches of years past. As a consequence, much will be expected of the Ayew brothers as well as Udinese’s Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu in terms of leadership.

Christian Gourcuff’s Algeria will be looking to use their fantastic efforts in Brazil as a springboard to continental success, with Sporting Lisbon’s Islam Slimani primed to have a huge effect following his exciting displays as the lead front man in Vahid Halilhodzic’s World Cup squad.
