ASANTE KOTOKO VS ACCRA LIONS
The league leaders host Accra Lions in Kumasi. This is the first ever encounter between the two sides in the Ghana Premier League. Kotoko are in a situation where they need to redeem themselves after that disappointing loss in Elmina, against bottom side Elmina Sharks. That defeat sent a jolt through the playing body as well as the supporters and fans. Ibrahim Imoro and George Mfuege are set to miss out on the match due to card accumulation and suspensions respectively. No matter the personnel at their disposal, a win is the minimum the fans will demand from the Kumasi lads.
Accra Lions are placed 14th on the table but did their chances of survival some good in their last game against Medeama, in Accra. The Western giants didn’t know what hit them. Another giant stands in their way. The giant killing feat will need to be repeated if they want connoisseurs of the league to consider them as viable survivors in the Ghana Premier League. Rauf Salifu has finally sealed his moved to Sporting KC in the MLS on a loan basis. That gap upfront will have to be filled one way or another. Fatawu Hamidu’s special free kick and such displays will be needed in Kumasi if any point will be taken from a difficult ground.
