The Sekondi Essipong Sports Stadium will on rampage when Hasaacas and Kumasi Asante Kotoko battle each other for their match day twenty-six (26) encounter.

Sekondi Hasaacas have recorded poor run of results in the league which has left them with the relegation alarm beeping at them.

 

This season has been a long one for the "Doo" boys as they have not "settled" in the league as of the last five games to end the season in Ghana.

 

Coming up against Kumasi Asante Kotoko will be a clash of old foes as they have had avalanche of avenues to get points from Kotoko but it has always been a disaster playing them at any grounds, be it home or away.

 

The absence of some key players like Emmanuel Ankobea for this game for the "Hasmal" side will do them a whole lot of bad against a hungry Kotoko side who are angry to make it out for African Club Competition next year.

 

Moving up the table will be a desirable thing Hasaacas will wish to achieve in their match against Kotoko having twenty-eight (38) points after twenty-five (25) matches lying fourteenth (14th) on the league log. But how do they do that with only a win in their last twenty-three (23) games against Kotoko?

 

However, after going two matches without a lost, Kumasi Asante Kotoko will travel to the Sekondi Essipong Sports Stadium, a familiar and a favourable territory, to regain that winning run after Aduana halted it in midweek when they drew goalless draw with Kotoko in Kumasi.

 

Being heads and shoulders above Hasaacas in everything is a plus for the "kum apem" lads to get a step to achieving their target for the season as it will raised their morale of making something positive out of this game.

 

Even though Kotoko will be without some important figures in the squad, they will make shift with the available players to cover the absence of players like Ahmed Adams and suspended Seidu Bancey.

 

Kumasi Asante Kotoko are only two points away from reaching the top of the table and grabbing all the three points against Hasaacas will push them a points in depth on the table depending on other results.

 

Fourteen (14) wins out of twenty-three (23) for Kotoko and eight (8) draw games is enough to get the "porcupine warriors" a positive results in Sekondi Takoradi.
