After raising hopes among Asante Kotoko fans that he is the right man to reverse the club’s dwindling fortunes, following a 3-1 away win over Bechem United in his first match and a 4-0 over Paga Crocodiles in an MTN FA Cup match, Coach David Duncan will again come under the spotlight as he leads Kotoko against visiting Liberty Professional at the Baba Yara Stadium this weekend.
Last Sunday’s victory at Bechem was the biggest win for the Porcupine Warriors in the First Capital Plus League this season and as they take on a Liberty side who lost at home to Accra Great Olympics and often struggle against Kotoko in Kumasi, the odds favour the Oseikrom side, who have won five of the last eight clashes, to coast to another victory tomorrow.
Still clinging to the top spot of the league log, AshantiGold will trek to the Sunyani Coronation Park to play struggling B.A. United in a clash that could further worsen the relegation woes of the home side who have won just two out of 11 league matches this season.
Second-placed Kpando Heart of Lions will seek to either maintain their impressive run in the league when they welcome mid-table Medeama SC at the Kpando Park, while troubled Accra Hearts of Oak, led by the league’s leading marksman Gilbert Fiamenyo, will attempt to end the unbeaten home record of Inter Allies when they clash at the Tema Stadium.
Improving Accra Great Olympics will again seek inspiration from experienced goalkeeper Richard Kingson and midfielder Godwin Attram for a home win over sixth-placed Wa All Stars at the Accra Stadium this afternoon.
At the Sekondi Stadium at Essipon, 13th-placed Hasaacas host fourth-placed WAFA in a dicey battle, while New Edubiase FC welcome Bechem United in a cagey encounter at the Len Clay Stadium, Obuasi.
Relegation-threatened Berekum Chelsea have a difficult task away to third-placed Aduana Stars at the Agyemang Badu Park at Dormaa-Ahenkro.
