Premier League: Holy Stars face unbeaten Asante Kotoko on Wednesday
Relegation-battling Basake Holy Stars FC will look to revive their campaign when they host in-form Asante Kotoko on Wednesday in their outstanding match-week 3 fixture at the AAK II Arena.
Basake sits 17th after 10 matches, having collected only 6 points from 1 win, 3 draws, and 6 defeats, the joint second-most losses in the league. Their struggles stem from issues at both ends of the pitch: they’ve scored just 7 goals, the joint-fewest in the Premier League, and conceded 16, the league’s second-highest total. However, their home form provides a glimmer of hope.
In 4 matches at Aiyinase, they’ve managed 1 win, 2 draws, and only 1 defeat, keeping 2 clean sheets. A victory against Kotoko would significantly boost their fight to escape the drop zone.
Asante Kotoko travels to the AAK II Arena in excellent shape, extending their unbeaten run to 10 games after a hard-fought draw with FC Samartex.
The Porcupine Warriors remain the league’s only unbeaten side, with 5 wins, 5 draws, 11 goals scored, and just 4 conceded, the joint-lowest tally. Their away record has been outstanding: 2 wins, 3 draws, 2 goals scored, and remarkably, no goals conceded on the road.
Abdul Karim Zito’s men will aim to preserve that flawless defensive away record as they visit a Holy Stars side they drew with on their only previous league trip.
