In-form Asante Kotoko are searching for their fourth successive 2024/25 Ghana Premier League victory when they visit the CAM Park to take on struggling Basake Holy Stars.
The Porcupines, who are one of only three unbeaten sides alongside Gold Stars and Berekum Chelsea, have racked up three consecutive wins including a recent triumph over defending champions Samartex.
Match Preview
Basake Holy Stars are looking to rebound from their recent struggles, having snapped a three-game losing streak with a narrow 1-0 victory over Karela United in week six, only to face a 2-0 setback against Nsoatreman FC last weekend.
Currently, Holy Stars sit 13th on the league table with 7 points, scoring 3 goals while conceding 6 across two wins, one draw, and four losses.
Asante Kotoko, meanwhile, bring momentum from a three-game winning streak, highlighted by their recent 1-0 victory over defending champions FC Samartex 1996. The Porcupine Warriors have accumulated 14 points with six goals scored and just two conceded, securing four wins and two draws. They also have a game in hand against Legon Cities.
This fixture marks the first league encounter between Basake Holy Stars and Asante Kotoko following Holy Stars’ promotion to the top tier this season.
Predicted Lineups
Basake Holy Stars: Wahab (GK); Boadi, Author, Zuma, Yakubu; Gyetuah, Asante, Baffour Awuah, Dacosta; Tweneboah, E. Kwame.
Asante Kotoko: Asare (GK); Ablorh, Blay, Asiedu, L. Amoah, Tenadu, Antwi, Baffour, A. Amoah, Saaka.
Prediction
Asante Kotoko's winning form gives them an edge, but the resilience shown by Holy Stars at home could make this a closely contested fixture. A narrow victory is anticipated for Kotoko, though a draw remains a possibility if Holy Stars capitalize on home advantage.
We say; Holy Stars 1-2 Kotoko
Kickoff Time
The match is set to kick off at 3:00 PM local time at the Crosby Awuah Memorial Park in Aiyinase.
