We have the same point with Sudan (10-points) and this being our last home match; we need the maximum points to rema on course.

The venue is no factor at all. For us, the three points is the most important result we are aiming for. I’m appealing to the fans to throng the Accra Sports Stadium to rally behind us in our pursuit of victory. They have always been behind us I’m sure Friday will be no exception”, said Annan.
