Ghana v Nigeria (03.02.2008)
Africa Cup of Nations, quarter-final
Date: Sunday, 3 February
Kick-off: 1700 GMT
Venue: Accra Sports Stadium
Nigeria are relishing the chance to play the role of party wreckers when they tackle hosts Ghana in Sunday`s Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final.
This last-eight clash between the two west African nations is just the latest chapter in a lengthy rivalry.
"It`s going to be Black Sunday for the Black Stars," predicted Nigeria`s media officer Peterside Idah.
Ghana coach Claude LeRoy was resolute: "(We have) great team spirit and I believe the quality to go all the way."
The game at the Accra Sports Stadium features a batch of players from the English Premier League, with Ghana`s Michael Essien coming up against his fellow Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel.
There is also a strong Portsmouth contingent with the home side`s Sulley Muntari facing the Nigeria duo Nwankwo Kanu and John Utaka.
Nigeria have been hit by a newfound wave of optimism after leaving behind their struggling early opening round form to seal their place in the quarter-finals with a convincing 2-0 win over Benin on Tuesday.
That left Berti Vogts` Super Eagles as Group B runners-up.
Ghana ended Group A as leaders after three straight wins, saving the best for their final victory over Morocco, with Essien scoring and setting up Muntari.
"All Nigerian sides are strong, but I`m confident, I`m always confident in life," said LeRoy who guided Cameroon to the 1988 title.
Ghana`s only injury worry concerns striker Asamoah
Gyan, who is nursing a slight groin strain forcing him to train apart from the team on Thursday and Friday.
"I haven`t trained with the team for two days now but I think I`ll be fit to play on Sunday," said the 22-year-old Udinese forward.
Junior Agogo, back to form after feeling unwell on Thursday, predicts sparks will fly on Sunday.
"There`s going to be a lot of passion, a lot of hard tackling, but we`re ready, the boys are buzzing to get the game started," said the in-form Nottingham Forest attacker.
Laryea Kingston returns after sitting out the Morocco game with a one-match suspension.
This is the 60th time the two countries have met, and it is hard to avoid the growing sense of optimism in the Nigeria camp that this meeting will go their way.
But while Ghana are at full strength Vogts is missing influential winger Peter Osaze Odemwingie due to suspension.
On the plus side Kanu, a veteran of five Nations Cups, is back in the picture after recovering from a knock he picked up in the defeat by Ivory Coast.
"We still can`t believe that we have qualified for the quarter-finals because we had all given up until the unexpected happened last Tuesday," said Kanu.
Nigeria assistant coach Austin Eguavoen opted for a poetic summary of the game.
"We have the game plan that will ensure that we prick the eyes of the Stars to gather enough clouds to cover their glitter."
Whichever side prevails on Sunday will have as their reward a semi-final date with the winner of the quarter-final between Tunisia and Cameroon.
