Libya coach Javier Clemente believes the local Black Stars are favourites to win the 2014 Championship of African Nations cup hosted by South Africa.
Ghana and Libya will be looking to book their place in the knockout stage of the CAF African Nations Championship tournament when they clash on Friday afternoon.
Both countries won their opening matches of the tournament on Monday night in Bloemfontein.
Clemente, whose side shocked Ethiopia in their opening game and is being touted as one of the favourites to win the competition, says Ghana is rather the team to beat.
"Ghana is one of the best teams in Africa. The Libyans are aware of that and respect Ghana very well," Clemente said at the pre-match press conference on Thursday.
"Ghana is always favourite to win the CHAN because they have a couple of a very talented players that can change the game at any time."
"We will do our best to win the game though but Ghana is a very good side."
The match between Ghana and Libya will kickoff at the Free State Stadium at 15:00 GMT.
Ghana’s starting line-up: Stephen Adams; Kwabena Adusei, Nuru Sulley, Joshua Tijani, Godfred Saka; Michael Akuffu, Jordan Opoku, Richard Mpong, Theophilus Anoorbah; Yahaya Mohammed; Sulley Mohammed.
