Asante Kotoko look to regain momentum in the Ghana Premier League as they prepare to face Legon Cities in an outstanding fixture at the University of Ghana Stadium.

After a promising three-match winning streak was disrupted by a 1-1 draw with Basake Holy Stars, Kotoko now trail league leaders Bibiani Goldstars by three points.

A victory here would allow Kotoko to close that gap and reinforce their position as serious contenders near the top of the table.

Meanwhile, Legon Cities enter this clash amid a difficult spell, having suffered three consecutive losses to Berekum Chelsea, Nsoatreman, and Karela.

Without a single win in eight games this season, the team faces mounting pressure to reverse its fortunes.

Coach Paa Kwesi Fabin has called for patience after a scoreless draw with Dreams FC, but he knows his side must improve defensively, as they have conceded goals in every match so far.

Fans are hoping to see a stronger backline and, ideally, some breakthroughs in attack.

Asante Kotoko has historically dominated recent encounters, securing three wins in their last six matchups since December 2021, including a 2-0 victory in their most recent meeting in May 2024.

Overall, Kotoko’s offense has outperformed that of Legon Cities in these fixtures, with a goal count of ten to seven.

Both teams have clear incentives in this matchup: Kotoko aims to catch up to Bibiani Goldstars, while Legon Cities are determined to notch their first win of the season.
