The Porcupine Warriors set to move to the top of the league with a win, when they play as travellers to Real Tamale United in a herculean week 8 tie on Saturday night at the Aliu Mahama Stadium.
Asante Kotoko failed to claim maximum points from the Northern giants in their two meetings last season and will this time, hope to stage a revenge, redemption and retribution.
However, the 'Wey Una' outfit will look to take it from where they ended after bossing it to snatch four points out of possible six from the champions in the last campaign.
After a vital win over leaders Aduana Stars to make it two on the trot, RTU couldn't proceed with that same momentum, having succumbed to a 2-1 loss to Great Olympics last week and aim at redeeming themselves tonight.
They are currently on the 12th position with 8 points, and win will climb them into the top seven on the league table.
On the opposition end, coach Seydou Zerbo's men got held by Legon Cities FC to a 1-1 stalemate which means they haven't beaten the Royals in their last to visit to Kumasi.
Asante Kotoko are sitting 3rd on the log with 14 points, and could reclaim top-spot by the close of the day though it will be a very tedious task.
