<p>The Black Stars must win these two games and hope Sudan also lose their last two matches before they stand any chance of qualifying for the 2025 AFCON in Morocco.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ghana have a had poor start to the qualifying rounds, failing to win any of their previous four matches.&nbsp;</p>

A defeat that brought an end to a remarkable 24-year unbeaten run at the stadium.&nbsp;</p>

<p>They went on to draw 1-1 to Niger in Morocco before that crucial Sudan double-header last month.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Despite being the better side in the first leg at the Accra Sports Stadium, Addo’s men failed to convert their chances as the game ended goalless.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the return leg, the Falcons of Jediane capitalised on two defensive blunders to punish the Black Stars, running away with a 2-0 victory.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Anything other than maximum points in any of their upcoming two games means Ghana will miss out on the tournament.</p>
