The Mannschaft enter this match in high spirits after a thrilling 4–3 victory over Switzerland at St. Jakob-Park. It was a historic result, marking their first win over their European neighbors since UEFA Euro 2008, highlighted by a masterclass from Florian Wirtz, who recorded two goals and two assists.

On the other hand, the Black Stars are desperate to redeem themselves. Their previous outing was a nightmare at the Ernst Happel Stadion in Vienna, where they suffered a crushing 5–1 defeat against Austria.
