2023/24 GPL: Preview – Nations FC clash with Asante Kotoko

Asante Kotoko will trek to Abrankese as guests of Nations FC at the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex on Sunday.

The first ever Premier League clash headlines fixtures for Matchday six of betPawa Premier League.

Nations FC have won one, lost two and drawn one – with their only win coming against FC Samartex at home. 

 The new boys are 14th in the Premier league table with four points and are winless in their last two games.

They go into the match against an Asante Kotoko side that seem to have discovered their winning formula under Dr. Prosper Narteh-Ogum.

The Porcupines have won two consecutive games after their lackluster start to the season. The Reds have also drawn two, won two and lost one in their last five matches and sit in 5th place with 8 points after 5 matchdays.

Asante Kotoko have played 7 times against  newly promoted sides on the road since 2021/22 and have won 3 games with 1 defeat and 3 draws coming of  9 goals scored and 6 conceded.

Coach Kasim Mingle Ocansey’s Nations FC have not been overly impressive at home following one win and one draw against FC Samartex and Legon Cities respectively.

Emmanuel Agyemang, Barimah Baah, Razak Simpson, Kwame Boakye, Emmanuel Boahene, Victor Oduro, Prince Acquah and Amidou Diarra are some of the notable names in the side who are likely to start on Sunday.

Kalo Ouattara has shrugged off the early season struggles to score two goals in his last two games to give Asante Kotoko all the spoils. Kalo netted in added time to give Kotoko the points against Accra Lions before his towering header gave them a 1-0 win over Aduana FC in Kumasi.

Dr. Prosper Narteh-Ogum will heavily rely on the likes of Augustine Agyapong, Yussif Nurudeen Mohammed, Sherif Mohammed,  Richmond Lamptey and Enock Morrison for a third successive victory.
