Ghanaian giant Kumasi Asante Kotoko SC and Aduana Stars will renew their rivalry tomorrow evening as the two sides come head to head at the Baba Yara Stadium in Matchday Five of the Ghana Premier League on Friday at 6pm.
This fixture sets up some intriguing and interesting happenings both on and off the pitch with the teams becoming rivals over the past few years in the Ghana top-flight.
The Porcupine Warriors have had a tough going in the early stages of the 2023-24 campaign with a difficult start to the season and managed their first victory against Accra Lions last Monday.
Kotoko will be hoping for another win and are desperately seeking their first home win in three matches to get their campaign back on track after two draws at home against Kpando Hearts of Lions and Karela United FC respectively.
With just one win and two draws in four games, Coach Prosper Narteh Ogum will need all the three points at stake to lift his side from the 10th spot on the log and also ease pressure on his players.
Boosted by the return of midfielder Justice Blay from injury, the respected gaffer will need to explore every tactical machinery to ensure they record their first win at home.
Aduana Stars on the other hand are fifth on the league on the log and just a point ahead of Kotoko going into the matchday five fixture.
The Green and Yellow outfit will fight tooth and nail to earn a valuable point away, having lost their last two away matches to FC Samartex and Legon Cities.
