Ghana will attempt to extend their flawless record in World Cup qualifiers today when they come up against Benin in Cotonou.

The Black Stars, already candidates for next year's double, the Nations Cup and the World Cup competitions on the continent are determined to keep their unbeaten record intact in Group D.

Having become the first African nation to make it to the World Cup finals after defeating Sudan 2-0 in Accra last month, Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac has declared that he expects his team to maintain their high standards and keep their winning run going in the qualifiers.

The Black Stars sit top of Group D, seven points clear in the qualifiers having won all four games.

Benin are still in the hunt for a place at the Nations Cup as they sit third on the table and are determined to avert another loss against Ghana in the qualifiers.

The Squirrels suffered a 0-1 loss in Kumasi in the reverse fixture.
