Team Analysis
The recently appointed manager had stated before the encounter that many viewed his team's World Cup ambitions as far-fetched, but the challenge itself has fuelled his motivation, and indeed the Barea certainly backed up his belief with their commanding performance.

Martins's side have now climbed a spot higher in Group I, sitting second with 10 points from three wins, one draw and a defeat, two points behind this weekend's opponent at the summit.

Madagascar's impressive qualification campaign has been built on defensive solidity, conceding only three times – the fewest of any side in the group – while their nine goals scored rank second, a balance they hope will prove decisive as they seek to leapfrog Ghana on Monday.

Like the Barea, Otto Addo's men also experienced an upward trajectory following their emphatic win, seizing top spot from Comoros, who suffered defeat to Mali.

That result also ended the Black Stars's winless run of eight competitive matches, a streak that included a dismal Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign and an underwhelming showing in the CHAN preliminaries.

Ghana finished bottom of Group F with just three draws from their six AFCON qualifiers, meaning they will not feature at the tournament in Morocco, while their African Nations Championship hopes also ended in disappointment following a 3-1 aggregate defeat to Nigeria, making their current push for a World Cup ticket all the more significant.

Madagascar possible starting lineup:
Dupire; Morgan, Fontaine, Marcelin, Rabemanantsoa; Lapoussin, Couturier, Ilaimaharitra, Raveloson, Randriananten; Caddy

Ghana possible starting lineup:
Asare; Schindler, Djiku, Salisu, Mensah; Kudus, Partey, Nuamah; Ayew, Semenyo, Williams
