GPL Match Preview and Prediction: Asante Kotoko vs Bechem United
Ghana Premier League, Kumasi Asante Kotoko side will turn their attentions back to the ongoing domestic league after they were dumped out of the CAF continental competition by Algerian side ES Setif over the weekend.
The home side haven’t fared particularly well playing at their adopted home venue, Accra Sports Stadium, in over six matches that they have played at the capital stadium.
So far, they have picked 10 from a possible 18 points at home scoring 12 goals and conceding six in over 13 games.
The club has been heavily dependent on Kwame Opoku, who has since scored half of the 12 goals the club has scored in the ongoing league. He will be expected to lead the lines once again for the Porcupine Warriors.
Bechem United are slowly carving a niche for themselves under current head coach Kwesi ‘Klopp’’ Danso in the league, they occupy the 6th position of the log with a total 23 points.
A disappointing draw at home to Legon Cities saw the away head coach fume at his players for letting three points slip through their fingers, with the mid-week clash against Kotoko upcoming, they will have to play above their weights for all the maximum points.
Moro Salifu and Hafiz Konkoni have been integral to the success of the away side scoring 12 from a total of 18 goals with a two-goal deficit.
The pair have played on 14 separate occasions, Kotoko have edged nine victories, Bechem with two and the remaining ending in stalemates.
Prediction: Kotoko 2-1 Bechem United
