2020/21 GPL Preview: Tricky tie for Asante Kotoko as they face off with Legon Cities

Asante Kotoko will face a tough test against Legon Cities as they trek to the capital to battle for the three points in a match-day 22 fixture at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday.

The Porcupine Warriors dropped points at home against current league leaders Medeama in their match-day 21 fixture at the Len Clay Sports Stadium losing the game by 2-1 to surrender their position on top of the league.

And it looks like the honeymoon period for Mariano Barreto has ended.

After staying unbeaten in his first three games, Asante Kotoko have failed to win any of their last two games.

As a result, the Porcupine Warriors are no longer top of the table and will look to correct that when they face Legon Cities.

When the two sides met in the first round, a close-range strike from Ibrahim Osman gave Kotoko all the three points.

The 23-time Ghana Premier League champions will be hoping for the same result to put pressure on Medeama.

Legon Cities on the other hand are in deep trouble and could end the weekend sitting in the relegation zone.

The Royals are just one point above the drop and will need a positive result against Kotoko.

The Royals have been boosted by the return of Asamoah Gyan ahead of this game.

The former Black Stars captain made a return from injury to earn some game time against Dreams in that 1-1 draw at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Stadium: Accra Sports stadium, Accra

Time: Saturday, 18:00GMT

The game will be live on the StarTimes channel, Adepa TV.
