Ghana and Nigeria has met 56 times across all competitions. The Black Stars has won 25 while the Super Eagles wins 12 times, 19 games has ended in draw.

Playing Ghana away from home never really favoured Nigeria who has won just once, and lost 16 times, with six draws out of 23 games Ghana has hosted.

Nigeria have qualified for the past three editions of the World Cup and are tipped to make it to the fourth on a bounce if they defeat Ghana in the double-header games.

Ghana have made it to the World Cup three times on a trot 2006, 2010 and 2014 but missed out on the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
