We say: Nigeria 1-1 Ghana

The spoils could be shared in Friday's derby as both sides are likely to employ caution rather than risk losing, even in a friendly. With recent changes in both dugouts it could take time for the managers to stamp their mark on their respective teams, so we're going for a draw in this one. Read more.
