Ghana go into the World Cup as one of the more fancied underdogs and they will surely have a decent tournament playing in their own continent. A team to look out for in the World Cup odds.

Ghana were the first qualifers from the African qualifying section (apart from the hosts) and interestingly they managed to keep plenty of clean sheets along the way.
Ghana are not just a one man team but they do rely heavily on star midfielder Michael Essien. Surrounded by decent players Michael Essien can guide Ghana to the Second Round, and possibly further with a kind draw. Those taking the Ghana World Cup odds should get a good run for their money.
Back Ghana's stage of elimination to be the Second Round
Ghana are a good side, it took Brazil to knock them out four years ago, and with that experience on their back, playing in their own continent, the Ghana World Cup odds look overpriced at this stage.
As the Ghana World Cup odds look too big a the moment, Ghana should be backed to win the World Cup and then laid off on Betfair after they have qualified from the group, by which stage they should have shortened dramatically.
Recommended Bet: Back Ghana to win the World Cup and lay off on Betfair after they qualify from the group.
Ghana will probably be expected to be eliminated at the group stage but we think they can certianly reach the second round, and maybe even further if they get a nice draw. Back Ghana in the outright tournament index and you should see a profit if they get out of the group.
