Ghana and Nigeria reached into semifinals by God's intervention after having a difficult start.
With the injury problems that have affected Rajevac's orchestra, undoubtedly he has no option but to feature more under 20 squad in today’s game.
Michael Essien is out for two weeks and is likely not going to play in today's game.
Nigeria’s last performance was not good although they crushed Zambia by 5-4 in post match penalties-thanks to Enyeama for brilliant save. It is probably that they will not repeat the same mistakes against their rivals.
Milovan Ravejac says the rivalry between both teams have not lost in him and he said they have to be cautious in the game.
“We have to be cautious in the game and execute our strategy with the needed perfection," was quoted by ghanafa.org website.
Despite Nigeria's poor performance against Zambia last week, Rajevac says he expects a different approach from the Super Eagles, who are skippered by Yakubu and he can not also conclude that they will repeat the same mistakes.

“Though they (Nigeria) did not play so well in the game against Zambia, it will be a big mistake to conclude that they will repeat the same performance in the next game against Ghana,” Rajevac said.
"Nigeria is an experienced team and the match will be tough because it is a semifinal," he added.
Being without defender Onyekachi Apam, due to suspension, it is likely that Shaibu Amodu will feature new faces in Today's game.
"There will be a need to introduce fresh legs," Amodu said.
"Unlike Ghana, we went through 120 minutes and penalties on Monday and we spent the whole of Tuesday travelling from Lubango to Luanda, and we just have to counter that.
"Yet if we get our house in order, there will be no problems. We need to sharpen our attack and stabilize the midfield, these were our greatest worries against Zambia. I have looked at my bench, we have some depth in defence. I need to introduce two or three fresh legs."
In another head-to head match is between world cup bonds, Algeria and defending champions Egypt which kicks off at 20:30 CAT.
