Ghana has already faced tough opening fixtures at the African Nations Championship but Maxwell Konadu anticipates a much difficult final game against Ethiopia.

After a winning start against Congo and a draw with Libya, the home-based national team will come up against Ethiopia on Tuesday in the final Group C fixture, needing at least a draw to confirm their place in the next round.

Ethiopia, who are out of contention, according to Konadu have nothing to lose as they chase their first point in the tournament exclusive to players based in their home countries.

"This match will be the most difficult for us because the Ethiopians have nothing to lose and and they will be under no pressure," Konadu told www.ghanafa.org.

"The pressure is rather on us to beat the Ethiopians and we are confident we will achieve the right results."

It's a three-team race for two second-round places as Ghana are joint-top in Group C with and Libya, on four points apiece while Congo remain third and a point behind.

Though a draw will send them through, Konadu has hinted he would go for all the spoils.

"This game is like the knockout stage so our approach will be different," said the coach.

"Fortunately, a draw will be okay for us but you don't start a game with the mindset of getting a draw. We will go all out until we think we need a draw."
