Black Stars midfielder Afriyie Acquah is preaching against complacency ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier Sierra Leone.

The four-time African Champions are looking to bounce back from the 1-0 shock defeat to Kenya in Nairobi a fortnight ago.

Ghana will host Sierra Leone at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on October 11 before travelling to Free Town for the second leg four days later.

"Football has evolved because nobody expected Kenya to beat us but it happened, and that's how football has become now and we have to live with it," Acquah told Happy FM.

"We cannot go into the game overconfidence, we should be cautious as they will be coming into the game with a plan to beat us."

"We have to take advantage of our home fans like the Kenyans did."
