Ghana Premier League goes into match-day 21 this midweek and giants Asante Kotoko welcome Accra Lions FC to the Baba Yara Stadium in an epic clash.

Both teams haven't really started the second round on a good note but the Lions will be much more motivated this time following the huge win they recorded over the weekend.

The 'Kum Apem' lads suffered their second loss in the second round after succumbing to a painful 1-0 loss to Karela United at the Naa Sheriga Sports Center last Saturday.

 

The defeat saw the Reds drop from second to the third position on the log with 32 points, and are three points behind the top-spot.

 

In contrast, Accra Lions exhibited a stupendous display to maul Berekum Chelsea by an emphatic 5-0, thanks to a brace from Blessing Asuman, Dominic Amponsah, Ali Mohammed and Abdul Shakun Abubakari. 

 

The Blue-Blacks are currently lurking around the 14th spot on the table with 24 points, just six away from the top 6.
