2022 World Cup: Ghana's predicted XI to face Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal

Having kept a clean sheet in a recent win over Switzerland in a friendly match, the 25-year-old has been tipped to start ahead of Ibrahim Danlad and Abdul Manaf Nurudeen due to his international experience.

The Brighton and Hove Albion star has been backed to become the Black Stars' new first-choice right-back after switching his international allegiance from England to Ghana. 

Ghana's first-choice left-back will be relishing facing the likes of Bernardo Silva and Rafael Leao who are both expected to start alongside Ronaldo in attack for Portugal.

Boasting 46 caps for Ghana, the England-based star will bring some needed international experience and stability to the Black Stars' defence.

Another newcomer in the Black Stars fold who is expected to start for Otto's side having scored against Switzerland and he will be looking to tame Ronaldo who remains a free scoring striker at international level.

The Arsenal star was an unused substitute against Switzerland, but he looks set to make his return to the starting line-up and he will be the shield that protects Ghana's defence.

The 22-year-old, who is also a newcomer in the Black Stars set-up with one cap, was very influential in midfield during the game against Switzerland and he could be rewarded with another starting role.

The Black Stars captain recently became the Ghanaian player with the most caps (110) and he will be confident of leading his nation to a win over the Navigators. 

The Ajax attacker, who is highly rated by Otto, will pose a threat to the Portuguese defence with his sublime ball control, incisive passing and dribbling skills. 

Having scored 19 goals from 84 matches for the Black Stars, the experienced forward will be determined to add to his tally in Doha.

The former Spain international has quickly become a regular for the four-time African champions after pledging his international allegiance to Ghana and he is keen to score his first goal for the Black Stars.
