Asante Kotoko head coach Karim Zito has insisted that his side is approaching their crucial Ghana Premier League fixture against Heart of Lions with a strong winning mentality, despite the historical challenges of playing in Kpando.
The Porcupine Warriors, sitting third on the table with 45 points—eight behind leaders Medeama SC—will travel to face the seventh-placed Lions on Saturday, January 31, in a Week 21 clash.
Kotoko aim to build on momentum from their last league game, a commanding 3-0 victory over Basake Holy Stars, which ended a sequence of two draws and a defeat.
“We are going in with the intention to win,” Zito stated, highlighting his team’s focus and positive mindset ahead of the encounter.
Striker Albert Amoah played a pivotal role in the previous victory, marking his return from Libya with a goal and an assist on his debut since rejoining the club.
Zito’s remarks underline Kotoko’s determination to overcome past difficulties at the Kpando Sports Stadium and secure three important points to stay in contention in a tightly contested title race.
The upcoming match represents a crucial test for Kotoko’s championship credentials as they seek to close the gap at the top of the Ghana Premier League table.
