After one year and eight months, Asante Kotoko will now have a new feel of the renovated Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi when they slug it out against leaders Bechem United in the week-two fixture of the Ghana Premier League (GPL) on Sunday.
Kotoko will be eager to pick a second straight victory against a well-organised Bechem United who kicked off their campaign in grand style with an emphatic 4-0 win over Medeama SC last Saturday.
With both sides yet to taste defeat, much will be centred around the cracker as the headliner.
The Porcupine Warriors produced a sweet 3-1 come-back against Dreams FC last Saturday after which gaffer Dr Proaper Narteh Ogum has been praised by many for his tactical brilliance – effecting two mind-blowing changes which resulted in all three goals in the dying stages of the afternoon.
With the return of former GPL top scorer Augustine Okrah, Emmanuel Avornyo who bagged brace on his debut, Francis Twene and Kofi Agbesimah, can the Hunters surprise the Porcupine Warriors in Kumasi?
At the Len Clay Stadium today, Ashantigold will play host to Karela United – a game Karela will give their all for a win after a hard-fought stalemate at home against Aduana Stars.
Returnees Real Tamale United (RTU), who drew at home in their first game with Great Olympics, lock horns with a rejuvenated Legon Cities side today.
At the Accra Sports Stadium, it will be an Accra derby when new entrants Accra Lions lock horns with Great Olympics in a fearsome contest.
Wounded Medeama SC will come guns blazing against debutants Bibiani Gold Stars at the Tarkwa TNA Park on Sunday – as the former aim to bounce back from their humiliation last weekend.
Aduana Stars will be at the Nana Agyeman Badu I Park tomorrow when they host tricky King Faisal.
On Sunday, Elmina Sharks will tussle it out with poor Dreams FC at the Ndoum Park in Elmina. The Sharks will be poised to give the visitors a run for their money.
At the Golden City Park, Berekum Chelsea will face off with Eleven Wonders tomorrow. Both will be itching for a win after defeats on their first game played last weekend.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
