GHANA:
Kwarasey, Paintsil, Alhassan, Boye, Mensah, Annan, Badu, Andre Ayew, Gyan, Muntari, J. Ayew.

If the last two editions of the Africa Cup of Nations are anything to go by, then it is safe to say the 2012 tournament is Ghana’s to lose.
The west Africans have improved game after game with each passing tournament, and sustaining such performances inGabon and Equatorial Guinea could lead them to the ultimate prize. Ghana came third in 2008;second in 2010 and the absenceof giants such as Egypt, Nigeria and Cameroon has convinced several pundits that the Black Stars are in for gold this time around.
Their opening game is against debutants Botswana – a lowly-placed side, but with a danger-man who scored five out of theirseven goals during the qualifying campaign to come second on the overall top scorers’ chart.
The four-time African championshave no injury worries as key striker Asamoah Gyan has recovered in time to be a probable starter. However, one of their influential defenders Isaac Vorsah will miss the opening game due to a suspension.
The southern Africans’ Joel Mogorosi of Township Rollers will miss the tournament and Botswana Defence Force XI defender Mompathi Thuma has injury worries. Their star player Dipsy Selolwane of SuperSport United is serving a suspension and cannot play in the opening game.
It appears the tournament regulars have the upper hand asthe most experienced side, but the Zebras also look set to be part of history, and have nothingto lose in the process.

MOROCCO:

After missing out on the 2010 edition of the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), Morocco are outto prove to the continent, and perhaps even themselves, that the days of underachieving are truly behind them. With Eric Gerets at the helm, the Atlas Lions were, for the most part, outstanding in the qualifiers. Furthermore, they will be adequately prepared for their Tunisian opponents as they had to oust Algeria to get to Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
Morocco prepared with a Spain-based training camp that featured a 3-1 comeback win over Grasshopper Zurich and a goalless draw against another Swiss side, Basel. The team looksto be in good shape but Gerets hasn’t been spared injury concerns as the influential Oussama Assaidi has tendinitis in his achilles tendon that may keep him out of the first game, and possibly longer than that.
Facing the Lions are Tunisians who struggled mightily in qualifying due to a combination of political upheaval, injuries, and coaching changes. Despite barely making it, the Carthage Eagles will surely benefit from having a team composed of six representatives from African club champions Esperance. Furthermore, coach Sami Trabelsi and many of the players at his disposal were victorious atthe 2011 Africa Championship ofNations (Chan).
In terms of injuries, Issam Jemaais carrying a hamstring pull that will almost surely prevent him from taking part in this encounter. In addition, Trabelsi will be unable to use his preferred left-back, Khalil Chammam, who is suspended for this encounter due to yellow card accumulation. Koln’s AmmarJemal is expected to take over on the left side of defence. (goal)

NIGER:

Gabon are strong in attack, with former Milan forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, now of St Etienne, and Daniel Cousin providing impressive options upfront.
Level with Sierra Leone and South Africa at the end of all the matches in their qualifying group, and benefitting from the Caf specific regulations to go through, Niger are expected to be the whipping boys in this group, but they will have a great change to prove themselves against the co-hosts.
