Ghana are already eliminated from the FIFA Womens World Cup but the Black Queens could leave the competition on a high with victory over Norway in their last game.
Norway needs just a draw to go through to the quarter-finals. However, Ghana, after two defeats need to restore some pride.
Black Queens coach, Isaac Paha has endured a torrid time on the teams bench and would need to reshape his defence with Yaa Avoe unavailable after picking up an injury against Canada.
Though both sides have never met before, Isaac Paha believes his inexperienced have the same chances as the Scandinavians of winning at the Shanghai Hongkou Football Stadium.
"My team is inexperienced, they are too young, but the ball is round, there are 11 on each side and each team has an equal chance. We will go in with confidence," the Ghana coach said.
But his opposite number, Bjarne Berntsen is pushing for win to stay top of the group.
"Of the four halves we have played, I have been very satisfied with two of them: the second against Canada and the first against Australia. We were very clear that we had a tough group and we are very pleased to be in the position we are going into the last game. We have enjoyed it here in Hangzhou, we have been here since 1 September, and if we finish top of the group we hope that we'll be able to come back in the semi-finals," Bjarne Berntsen, Norway coach.
