Kotoko will seek to return to winning ways this weekend in the league against Kotoku Royals, but that won’t come easy as their opponents have cautioned them to stage an upset at the famous Kumasi Sports Stadium on Sunday. The Porcupine Warriors are winless in their last four league matches after recording drawn games against Bibiani Gold Stars, Tamale City, Great Olympics and Aduana Stars. Kotoko, who make an attempt to win their first league match in five games against Kotoku Royals, returned to winning ways over lower-tier side, Benab FC in the MTN FA Cup competition last weekend. Kotoku Royals is a relegation-threatened side as they sit bottom of the league table after 13 matches with only 7 points.
The Royals have won only two games in the current league campaign, drawing once and losing the remaining matches. Despite the string of poor results, PRO of Kotoku Royals, Okatakyie Afrifa, says the team is poised to upset Kotoko in front of their home crowd by picking the three maximum points. “Kotoku Royals have maximum respect for Asante Kotoko, we know them as our senior brothers. “But Kotoku Royals are coming all out. Looking at the standings now, we can’t afford to lose this particular game so we are doing everything possible to come to Kumasi on Sunday to pick all the maximum three points against Asante Kotoko, ” he stated.
