PRETORIA (Reuters) - Ghana's Serbian coach Milovan Rajevac reshuffled his starting line-up for their opening World Cup Group D match against his compatriots on Sunday after leaving out stalwarts Stephen Appiah and Sulley Muntari.
Rajevac has opted for an attacking 4-4-2 formation with Prince Tagoe and Dede Ayew on the flanks while Anthony Annan and Kevin-Prince Boateng have been deployed in a holding role to protect the back four.
Hans Sarpei returns in the right back slot while Asamoah Gyan will lead the line up front, with Kwandwo Asamoah playing in a deeper role behind him.
There are no surprises in Serbia's starting line-up as coach Radomir Antic has deployed his preferred 4-4-2 formation with a flat midfield and two out-and-out strikers.
Aleksandar Kolarov was picked ahead of Ivan Obradovic at left back while centre-back Nemanja Vidic starts his first World Cup match after missing the entire 2006 tournament through suspension and injury.
