AFCON 2023 Q: Angola coach Goncalves tips Ghana to qualify from Group E

Pedro Goncalves has mentioned that the Black Stars are favourites to qualify from Group E for the 2023 African Cup of Nations.

The Angolan national team head coach said he expects to come second behind Ghana as they seek to book a place in the next tournament after missing out on the last edition.

“Ghana is a very powerful national team in Africa; one of the five teams representing Africa at the World Cup. So sure, they are favourites.

“I believe between Angola, Madagascar and the Central African Republic, it will be a big fight but I believe we will make it,” Goncalves is quoted.

Angola is paired together with Ghana, Madagascar and the Central African Republic in Group E for the qualifiers scheduled to begin in June 2022 and conclude in March 2023.

Meanwhile, the 2023 African Cup of Nations final is planned for June 2023.
