How Asante Kotoko could lineup against Hearts of Oak this afternoon

Asante Kotoko will host arch-rivals Hearts of Oak at the Baba Yara Stadium this afternoon in the Ghana Premier League matchweek 24 fixture.

The biggest game on the Ghanaian soil always come along with magnificent scenes with supporters filling the stadium to the brim.

The Porcupines are in some phenomenal form and would want to build on their last game in the league where they inflicted 1-0 defeat to King Faisal at the Baba Yara Stadium.

The last time the two teams met at the Accra Sports Stadium, it ended in a 0-0 in a matchweek 7 outstanding fixture.

Here, We look at how Prosper Narteh Ogum could set his side up for the blockbuster contest in a 4-1-2-3, a slightly defensive version of 4-3-3 formation.

Goalkeeper

Danlad Ibrahim is gradually staking his claim in this Kotoko side. He showed a great command in the box since the departure of Razak Abalora. His inclusion is a no-brainer.

Defence

In the absence of Abdul Ganiyu, Maxwell Agyemang is expected to partner Yusif Mubarik should Justice Blay fail to pass a late fitness test in the central defense role.

Christopher Nettey who has been excellent in the club’s last two games is expected to start ahead of Augustine Agyapong and Ibrahim Imoro should continue to feature as the left-back.

Midfield

Sheriff Mohammed has done an excellent job for the Reds so far this season and is expected to sit in front of the back four with Mudasiru Salifu and Richard Boadu playing ahead of him.

Attack

Fabio Gama and Georges Mfegue could line up on the wings with Mbella Etouga leading the attack.

Kotoko Possible Line Up: Danlad Ibrahim (GK), Chris Nettey, Imoro Ibrahim, Maxwell Agyemang/Blay, Yusif Mubarik, Sheriff Mohammed, Fabio Gama, Mudasiru Salifu, Mbella Etouga, Richard Boadu, Georges Mfegue.
