Key players:
Serbia: Vidic, Ivanovic, Nikola Zigic and Stankovic.
Ghana: Sulley Muntari, Stephen Appiah and Asamoah Gyan.
Squad analysis:
Serbia: Serbia has one of best defences in the tournament. Ghana which is weak in attacking may find it difficult to break Serbian wall. Zigic can easily face physical game of Ghanians. Stankovic will guide team from midfiled. Ivanovic is in terrific form for Chelsea while Vidic can nullify Ghanian attack.
Loss to New Zealand is a good wakeup call.
Ghana: Team was built around Michael Essien. Without him, midfield may not be that much imposing despite Muntari presence. Players like Vidic and Zigic can pose problems with headers.
Final analysis: Winner of this game will have more chance to qualify for second round. Serbia has edge in all departments. Without Essien, Ghana may find it difficult to create goal creating chances. Serbia is one of dark horses of tournament.
