●      Gabon are looking to win consecutive Africa Cup of Nations games for the first time since a run of three in January 2012.

●      Ghana have won just one of their last five group stage games at the Africa Cup of Nations (D2 L2), losing more in this run (2) than in their previous 12 such matches combined (W9 D2 L1).
