Mozambique coach Abel Xavier is not ruling out a possible upset against at Accra sports stadium today in 2017 Africa cup of nations qualifiers.

Os Mambas are without a win in their previous two qualifiers and need a good result against Ghana to revive whatever hope is left of reaching the 31st edition of the nations cup.

On the other hand Ghana will be hoping to secure a third straight win having recorded victories over Mauritius and Rwanda.

But the former Portugal international is upbeat about his side's chances against four times champions

"Ghana is a good team and we are coming here to give in our best, we believe in ourselves and we know we can get a result here,” he told pressmen after training at the Accra Sports Stadium on Wednesday.

“We want to make the country proud so we will give in our best tomorrow.

"People see us like a small team but we are here to play good football."
