JAKARTA - The Portugal and Ghana national teams will meet in the first matchday of Group H of the 2022 World Cup. The match will take place at Stadium 974, Qatar on Thursday, November 24 at 23.00 WIB.

This match will prove the performance of Cristiano Ronaldo in the midst of his recent controversy with Manchester United. Although his performance is questionable at the club level, Fernando Santos' trust in the national team could be a moment for the star to silence his cynical views.

Portugal and Ghana had met in the 2014 World Cup group stage. Portugal at that time won 2-1 in which on that occasion one of the goals against Ghana was created by Ronaldo.

Eight years later, it seems that Ronaldo will still be the spearhead of Selecao. The star's performance can certainly get crazier with the support of players like Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva.

If this composition is properly implemented by Fernando Santos in the match later, Ghana will definitely have to be on alert as much as possible.

Otto Addo as Ghana's coach even believes that his team will find it difficult to compete in Group H, if they are unable to show their best performance. For that, in order to reduce the strength of Portugal they will field the best players.

Ghana has the opportunity to rely on Jordan Ayew and Andre Ayew. Addo also relies on several other players in the Premier League (EPL), such as: Thomas Partey, Tariq Lamptey, Daniel Amartey, Mohamed Salisu, and Jordan Ayew.

Before meeting with one of the favorite teams to win the World Cup, Ghana had good capital to boost confidence. In a pre-trial match, they won 2-0 against Switzerland in mid-November.
