Kotoko must redeem image against Medeama
• Ebenezer Nkrumah – Medeama
Asante Kotoko will hope to shake themselves off the relegation zone tomorrow when they welcome defending betPawa Premier League champions Medeama SC to the Baba Yara Stadium for their match day 11 game.
Kotoko lie 16th on the log with 10 points from 10 games.
The last time the two teams met in a league game at the same venue, Medeama ran away with a 2-0 win but Kotoko fans cannot afford to watch their team drop points again.
They watched in pain as Dreams FC administer a difficult home defeat on them and followed up with an away defeat to Samartex last week.
Back at their favourite turf, Kotoko will be expected to pick up the pieces and grind the results against the Yellow and Mauve boys to appease their fans.
But Coach Augustine Adotey of Medeama would not be in any mood to drop points against Kotoko even without three of their top performers – Jonathan Sowah, Fatawu Hamidu, and Nurudeen Abdulai.
At the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium in Tamale today, current league leaders, Aduana Stars will seek to stretch their lead on the log when they play as guests of Karela United.
Chasing their second win at the same venue after defeating RTU 3-1 on match day seven, Aduana Stars would be hoping that Karela United’s bad patch of form at home would continue to give them the upper hand.
Second-placed Nsoatreman FC will look to keep the chase on leaders Aduana Stars when they play as guests of regional rivals Bofoakwa Tano at the Sunyani Coronations Park tomorrow.
Great Olympics will take their turn on Monday when they play host to FC Samartex at the Accra Sports Stadium.
On Tuesday, Accra Lions will host Accra Hearts of Oak at the Accra Sports Stadium in a game expected to be full of fireworks.
In other games, Berekum Chelsea will welcome Legon Cities to the Golden City Park tomorrow; RTU will stay at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium to welcome Dreams FC while Bibiani Gold Stars sort things out with Nations FC at the Dun’s Park.

The battle for supremacy in the Ghana Premier League will continue this weekend with both Medeama SC and Bibiani Gold Stars continuing their close battle for the title.
Defending champions, Bibiani Gold Stars, are breathing down heavily on the neck of the leaders Medeama SC as they aim to hunt down the Premier League leaders from the top.
Fresh from their 2-1 home victory over in-form Hearts of Oak, which saw them cut the lead at the top to just one, Gold Stars will travel to the Bono Region, precisely the Wenchi Sports Complex, to test their mettle against relegation candidate, Young Apostles.
Gold Stars are on a four-game winning streak, having blown apart Swedru All Blacks, Basake Holy Stars, Heart of Lions and Hearts of Oak, and are gunning to add Apostles to their list of casualties tomorrow.
Apostles, the last but one team on the log, have vowed to escape the drop, indicating their resolve to wrest a point or more in the game.
Medeama SC returns to their fortress, the TnA Stadium, to host Hohoe United in a tricky tie.
Head coach of Medeama SC, Tanko Ibrahim, believes they are still on course to win the title despite the threat from Gold Stars.
Vision FC will look to continue their strong home form when they welcome relegation-threatened Berekum Chelsea to the Nii Adjei Kraku Sports Complex in Tema New Town today with the Nsenkyire Sports Arena in Samreboi, also hosting the Samartex FC versus Dreams FC clash today.
In other games, the University of Ghana Stadium will play host to the Hearts of Oak versus Basake Holy Stars game; Asante Kotoko will trek to the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium in Tamale to face Karela United FC; Aduana FC will seek to add to the woes of bottom club, Eleven Wonders, at the Nana Agyemang Badu I Park with Heart of Lions seeking a return to winning ways when they host Swedru All Blacks at the Kpando Stadium.
