Togo’s lineup adjustments for their crucial clash against Ghana show a clear focus on shoring up the defense after their narrow 1-2 loss to Guinea. Bringing in Sadate Ouro-Akoriko to partner Vincent Bossou in central defense, and having Kokou Donou on the right to try and contain Ghana’s dangerous wingers like Christian Atsu and Andre Ayew, reflects the importance of tightening the backline.
The injury to Serge Gakpé means Dove Wome steps in to reinforce the midfield, while the attack remains steady with Jonathan Ayité and Emmanuel Adebayor leading the frontline, supported by Alaixys Romao and Komlan Amewou.
Ghana will be looking to build on their 1-1 draw against Uganda, so this will be a high-stakes battle where both teams need a win to boost their qualification chances.
