Asante Kotoko are set to host Aduana FC this Sunday at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in a vital Ghana Premier League fixture that could shape the remainder of their season. The match marks a new chapter for the Porcupine Warriors, as interim coach Karim Zito takes charge following the dismissal of head coach Prosper Ogum.
Zito now shoulders the responsibility of guiding the team to a league title, and all eyes will be on his debut in the dugout against a determined Aduana side.
The pressure is on for Kotoko, who are desperate to bounce back after a string of poor results. Back-to-back defeats against Nations FC and Accra Lions have extended their winless run to four matches. One of the key issues Zito will need to address is the team’s defense, which has failed to keep a clean sheet in their last four games.
Aduana FC, on the other hand, enter the contest with renewed confidence following a 2-1 win over Hearts of Oak. That victory has injected momentum into their campaign as they look to climb higher in the standings.
In recent encounters between the two clubs, Asante Kotoko have held the upper hand, winning four of their last six meetings. Aduana Stars have claimed just one win during that period, with one match ending in a draw. Kotoko’s most recent triumph over Aduana was a 2-0 victory on November 24, 2024.
Heading into Sunday’s showdown, Kotoko sit 4th on the league table with 47 points from 28 games, while Aduana FC occupy 10th place with 38 points from the same number of matches.
With both sides eager to secure all three points, fans can expect an intense and competitive encounter—one that could define Kotoko’s push for the title and Aduana’s climb up the table.
