GPL Preview- Kotoko will host AshGold for a Derby

The odds are firmly stacked against AshGold in what should prove a difficult away tie against the record holders of the Ghana Premier League Kumasi Asante Kotoko in round twelve of the ongoing league.

Kotoko are oozing with bag loads of confidence following their surprising 2-0 win away to Aduana Stars at the Nana Agyemang Badu park, a ground they have failed to win a single league game in over a decade.  

That momentous victory saw them swap positions with Aduana Stars to ascend to become joint table toppers with fellow Kumasi based club King Faisal tied on 23 points.

Coach Prosper Ogun is a worried man, lamenting amount the current injury situation that has hit his club, with the likes of Richmond Lamptey serving suspension, wonderkid Isaac Oppong, Maxwell Agyemang, Fabio Gama are also nursing various degrees of injuries leaving his once fleshly bodied team to skeletons.

Meanwhile, AshGold are gasping for survival, the former winners of the league currently sit 14th with 12 points and it’sbecoming increasingly worrying for players, technical team to find a spark to turn the tides of the club around but this weekendtasty fixture against the Reds may just be the fine wine they need to gulp down their long throats to savor the moments in the league.

Predictions: Great Olympics 2-1 Karela United.
