The technical director of the Ghana Football Association, Oti Akenteng, says the Black Stars will not have it easy against Zambia when the two teams clash in a 2014 world Cup qualifying match on June 9 2012.

He told footy-ghana.com that despite the difficult nature of the game, Ghana’s performance in the 7-0 win over Lesotho gives him hope.

‘It’s not going to be an easy match because they lost to Sudan, but I am sure with what I saw in Kumasi that the team will do well.’

After topping group D with superior goal difference, the Black Stars will face a daunting task against Zambia in their new 40,000 Levy Mwanawasa stadium.

The Chipolopolo team will be hoping to pick the three points when they host Ghana in Ndola, after they lost 0-2 to Sudan in Khartoum.
