Black Princesses coach Robert Sackey insists his side face a difficult final qualifier in their push for a place at the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.

Ghana will come up against Tunisia over two legs in the decisive third round of qualifying with both games scheduled for 4 and 20 May 2012 after beating South Africa 5-0 over both legs in the second qualifying stage.

Tunisia also got the better of Kenya, winning the second leg 2-1 just like the reverse game.

The Black Princesses travel to Tunis for the first leg with the winner over both legs becoming one of Africa's two representatives at the World Cup in Japan later in August.

Sackey says he will not be taking Tunisia lightly despite Ghana's great run in the continental qualifying campaign

“They play the passing game just like the Europeans. They have the technique but we have to outplay them," said, the Black Princesses coach.

The Ghanaian coach is counting on his side's strengths to keep their dream of a second consecutive appearance at the World Cup alive.

“But we have speed and will approach the game with speed and good tactics” Sackey added.

The Black Princesses made their World Cup debut in the Germany 2010 U-20 Women's World Cup finals.
