Kotoko host Ashgold on Sunday
League leaders, Asante Kotoko, will clash with regional rivals, Ashantigold, in a 12th week top liner at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi on Sunday in a bid to tighten their grip at the top of the premiership ladder.
The Porcupine Warriors lead the pack with 23 points, 11 points more than their opponents who are perched on the 14th position with 12 points.

However, Kotoko, who broke the Aduana Stars jinx at the Nana Agyeman Badu I Park at Dormaa-Ahenkro with a 2-0 victory last Sunday, share the top spot with city rivals, King Faisal, but for the luxury of a three-goal advantage.
That is why Coach Prosper Narteh Ogum’s men will fight for a home win to maintain their lead and sink their neighbours further down the table.
