Asante Kotoko continue their pursuit of a domestic double as they prepare to face Berekum Chelsea in a crucial Ghana Premier League clash at the Baba Yara Stadium on Wednesday.
Fresh off a hard-fought victory over True Democracy that secured them a place in the FA Cup semifinals, the Porcupine Warriors are determined to strengthen their hold at the top of the league table. This encounter also serves as a preview of their FA Cup semifinal showdown scheduled for May.
Kotoko enter the match in fine form, boasting a five-game unbeaten run, including a win against Basake Holy Stars on March 23. Their performances at the Baba Yara Stadium have been particularly impressive, with four consecutive clean sheets on home turf.
Berekum Chelsea, meanwhile, arrive in Kumasi after a draw with Samartex. Defensive struggles have been a concern for them, as they have conceded in each of their last four away matches.
Kotoko currently lead the table with 42 points from 23 games, while Chelsea sit in eighth place with 32 points. Their last league meeting ended in a 1-1 draw, setting the stage for another closely contested battle in Kumasi as both teams seek a strong finish to the season.
