Despite Nigeria playing the first leg of the final qualifier away in Accra, Amoo does not consider this a significant advantage for Ghana.

Speaking on Brila FM, Amoo emphasized that the key to success is not determined by whether a team plays home or away first. Instead, he believes the outcome will hinge on the teams' preparation and ability to capitalize on the opportunities presented to them during the match.

According to Amoo, "The outcome will depend on your preparation, whether you are playing away first or at home." He further added, "It comes down to how well you can maximize your opportunities; if you do that effectively, you are good to go."

While acknowledging the competitive nature of the encounter, he noted that both teams have equal chances, describing it as a "50-50" situation. He also expressed confidence in Nigeria's preparation, particularly the selection of players, but emphasized that the final results would be the true measure of the team's readiness.

The first leg of the qualifier is scheduled for December 22 in Accra, with the return leg set for Uyo, Nigeria, the following week.
