Team statistics:

Ivory Coast will aim to control the game through possession and measured attacking play. Their approach is likely to focus on moving the ball quickly from defence into midfield before creating openings in the final third. Ghana, meanwhile, will look to match the physical intensity of the contest and use the pace of their attacking players to threaten in transition.

The opening stages could be particularly important. A strong start would allow either team to settle quickly and take control of the match, while an early goal could force the opposition to change its tactical plan. Both defences will need to remain organised, especially when dealing with wide attacks and set pieces.
