Kotoko aim to end season in style
Newly crowned Ghana Premier League (GPL) champions, Kumasi Asante Kotoko will make a trip to the capital today to face Accra Lions to climax their last game of the 2021-22 season.
Kotoko will be aiming for a double over the debutants to amass 69 points, having won 3-1 in the first round.
Under the tutelage of Coach Propser Ogum Larteh, Kotoko has been in blistering form in the second round, recording three defeats, winning eight and drawing five.
Accra Lions in their debut campaign have been impressive, having won one and lose one in their last two games, sitting 12th on the log with 44 points.
Should they emerge winners or losers, they will play in the elite division next season.
