NGR vs GHN Dream11 Team
GK
Francis Uzoho
Uzoho was tested in the initial stages of the last game and kept his nerves at the end to keep a clean sheet in the first leg.
| Clean Sheets (National Team) | Goals Conceded | Saves % |
| 8 | 5 | 94.7 |
DEF
Leon Balogun
Balogun was one of the best defensive players on the field and Ghana will hope that he will do the same once again.
| Tackles Won (National team) | Goals | Interceptions |
| 37 | 2 | 53 |
William Troost-Ekong
Though the league looks bleak, Troost-Ekong has fared remarkably well on the national front.

| 80 | 81.6 | 137 |
MID
Thomas Partey
Partey is the midfield anchor that holds the whole team together. He has scored 2 goals in 2 starts for Ghana.
| Goals (National Team) | Assists | Shots on target |
| 11 | 4 | 21 |
Moses Simon
He looked great on the right of a 4-man midfield and will look to provide Osimhens with scoring opportunities.
| Goals (National Team) | Assists | Passes completed % |
| 7 | 6 | 78.4 |
ST
Jordan Ayew
Ayew was fantastic for Ghana creating some great chances but Ghana couldn’t capitalize on the same.
