Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
I searched some more and found a South African site with confirmation about the Somalia match:
Ghana's tie with Somalia will be played over two legs in Ghana in November after Somalia ceded home advantage for the second successive qualifying campaign.
From what I understand (source), only 1 match will actually be played today (Guinea Bissau - Mali), all the other matches either on Saturday or on Sunday.

I don't know enough about African football.
Here is my (not very scientific) system for predicting the winners in the African games.
A specific country is likely to win its game if:
- I have heard of it in any footballing context
- I can confidently place it on a map
- It is not currently involved in a major war ( this really shortens the list)
- If it has a big enough population to actually field, say, four teams to make a domestic league (ie not the Seychelles!)
What I use: check qualifiers for last World Cup or African Nations Cup. See how many points the teams got, and account for different strength of opponents. If still in doubt, predict a draw. And I ended up with only one point less than Fergus, our resident African football expert.
I do what I do with all the prediction competitions. Look at the teams, wait for inspiration, and write the first thing that comes into my head.
But I didn't feel any vibes from this lot.

When I got too much free time, I do the same thing Paul and Locutus do, but this season I trust my feelings more. That's why I suck so much this year in all predictions.
