GPL MATCH DAY 3 PREVIEW – BIBIANI GOLD STARS VS KUMASI ASANTE KOTOKO

Bibiani Goldstars will play host to Kumasi Asante Kotoko in a game week 3 encounter at the Duns Park. Having picked up 4 points out of a possible 6, they are the only unbeaten newly promoted side in the league. In these first few games, they have not flattered to deceive at all. Coach Michael Osei, a former Kotoko great will lock horns with the team that gave him prominence on the local scene. No test, at this point in the season, will be more difficult than a Kotoko team brimming with extreme confidence. Joshua Akoto’s equalizer was needed so late in Tarkwa, to draw parity with Medeama, another title contender.

The porcupine warriors will be aiming to make it 3 wins out of 3 in their next match. Picking up their first away win in dramatic fashion, they would have learnt their lessons and be hoping to make light out of the newly promoted side. Kotoko will need to take advantage of teams still trying to find their rhythm and put daylight between them possible title contenders. Coach Dr. Prosper Nateh-Ogum is determined to ingrain the possessive patience approach to the play of Kotoko. So far, they offer attacking threats across all front three and in the midfield. While former Berekum Chelsea man Steven Amankonah is searching for his first goal, Fabio Gama, Richmond Lamptey and even Mudasiru Salifu, who scored their first goal of the season will all pose threats to the newcomers.

PREDICTION: 1-2
