Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah does not expect a stroll in the park performance against Sudan in Sunday’s 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier.

The Desert Hawks are all locally-based dominated by players from giants Al Merreikh and Al Hilal.

Coach Mohammed ‘Mazda’ Abdallah’s side earned a famous 0-0 draw at the Baba Yara Stadium in September 2010 when Appiah was a stop-gap coach.

The Black Stars must win to ensure they are on track for third successive World Cup appearance.

Appiah is not getting carried away by his team’s home advantage as he expects a difficult task.

“They have a good team dominated by local players. The players know themselves and are a difficult side to play against,” Appiah said.

“We will approach the game with all the attention it deserves to get the much desired result,” he added.

The Black Stars are three points adrift Group D leaders Zambia, who have six points.
