Ghana vs Comoros Prediction & Betting Tips (12 October)

Ghana and Comoros are set to clash in a pivotal World Cup 2026 qualifier, with both sides chasing their second consecutive win in Group I.

Comoros enter this fixture riding a wave of historic momentum. Their recent 4-2 triumph over the Central African Republic marked their first-ever victory in World Cup qualifying, a milestone that has galvanized the squad. Head coach Younes Zerdouk has instilled belief in a team that once lingered in obscurity, and the memory of their stunning 3-2 win over Ghana at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations still lingers. Forward Myziane Maolida, who scored on his international debut, is expected to lead the line again, supported by a resilient midfield anchored by Youssouf M’Changama and Faïz Selemani. With a settled lineup and growing confidence, Comoros are no longer the underdogs they once were.

Ghana, meanwhile, are navigating a transitional phase under head coach Chris Hughton. The Black Stars edged Madagascar 1-0 in their opening qualifier, thanks to a last-gasp goal from Inaki Williams, who continues to adapt after switching allegiance from Spain. The squad boasts Premier League talent in Jordan Ayew and Antoine Semenyo, while Mohammed Kudus has taken on a deeper midfield role in the absence of Thomas Partey, sidelined with a groin injury. Hughton’s tenure has been marked by tactical caution, but the team’s pedigree—having qualified for four of the last five World Cups—demands results. Ghana’s recent squad announcement also saw the return of Abdul Fatawu Issahaku and Alidu Seidu, both recovering from long-term injuries.

As the match unfolds in Moroni, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Comoros aim to defend their home turf and maintain their lead in Group I, while Ghana seek redemption and momentum. The tactical chess match between Zerdouk’s fearless pressing and Hughton’s structured build-up promises a compelling spectacle. While Comoros have proven they can punch above their weight, Ghana’s depth and experience should tip the balance. Our prediction: a hard-fought 2-1 victory for Ghana, with late drama likely to decide the outcome.
