Asante Kotoko will host Aduana Stars in a crunchy and herculean clash at the Baba Yara Stadium to kickoff match-day five of the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League.
The Porcupine Warriors secured their first win of the season in the last round of matches after nipping on a late goal from Kalo Ouattara to record a narrow 0-1 win over Accra Lions FC in the capital.
The 'Kum Apem' lads have two draws, a win and a defeat in their opening four matches and are currently 9th on the log with 5 points.
The 'Ogya' lads on the other hand, got themselves back on winning ways with a vital 1-0 win over regional rivals Berekum Chelsea in Dormaa, kind courtesy Isaac Mintah's first half strike.
Yaw Acheampong's men with two wins and two loses so far, are found on the 6th spot with just 6 points and will hope to avoid a defeat tonight in order not to drop into the danger zone.
With this and picking victories in their last matches, both teams will be desperate and head into the game with nothing but a winning mindset to enhance their positions on the league standing.
Asante Kotoko have been the dominant side in their last five meetings in all competitions, having won two, and lost only one with the remaining two games finishing in a stalemate.
TEAM NEWS
Coach Prosper Narteh Ogum will be without right-back Samuel Asamoah and mercurial playmaker Baba Yahaya ahead of this epic tie, all due to injuries.
