Former Ghana John Paintsil international believes the Black Stars are defensively sound, ahead of the start of the Africa Cup of Nations on Friday.
On their 22nd appearance at the continental fiesta, Kwesi Appiah's men are hoping to beat 23 other teams in the June 21-July 19 tournament in Egypt.
USA-based Jonathan Mensah and FC Metz centre-back John Boye headline Ghana's defensive unit, which also include Chelsea left-back Abdul Raman Baba and Hoffenheim ace Kasim Nuhu Adams.
“Defensively we need experience, it's very important," five-time Afcon participant Paintsil told TV3 Sports.
