GPL: Tricky ties await Kotoko, Hearts
High-flying Asante Kotoko will trek to the Nsenkyire Sports Arena in Samreboi tomorrow to face Samartex FC in their Ghana Premier League Matchday 11 game.
Unbeaten this season, Kotoko would hope for another good day away as they push forward to win the title this season. The Nsenkyire Sports Arena has been a favourable ground for them in recent visits, but a wounded Samartex FC, coming on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Bechem United last week, would go all out against the Porcupine Warriors.
After falling to the Porcupine Warriors in their outstanding game on Wednesday, Young Apostles return to the Wenchi Sports Stadium to face yet another tough customer in Hearts of Oak. The Phobians have been tough on the road this season and are looking to return to winning ways after the draw at the Swedru Sports Stadium last week.
Defeats in both fixtures last season have put the Young Apostles side on edge ahead of this game. Coach Abu Abdul Hanan says that although it would not be an easy game, considering Hearts’ current form, he will make sure the points stay with them.
The Nana Agyemang Badu I Park in Dormaa will host the clash of former league winners as high-flying Aduana FC test their mettle against Berekum Chelsea FC.
