Kotoko coach David Duncan anticipates a tough clash against Medeama in the final of the 2015 FA Cup on Sunday.

The Porcupine Warriors will clash with the Mauve and Yellows at the Essipong stadium with an eye for the crown top of the agenda for the two clubs.

While Kotoko will be aiming to avenge their defeat against their opponent in 2013,Medeama will be hoping to repeat the dose.

Kotoko coach David Duncan admits the enormity of the task ahead but remains defiant about their chances.

“It obviously won’t be an easy match. We don’t expect it to be easy. If you have all players available, then of course you can go into the game with some degree of confidence that, you have a good chance of winning it,” he told the club's website.

“It’s one of the avenues through which we wanted to look at players who haven’t been too active. These are not the kind of times to experiment; so when you get the opportunity, you want to have a look at them and plan.

“There are players who are coming from a long layoff for various reasons. A player like Michael Akuffu went on trials and since his return, the team that has been playing has been jelling” he said. There seems to be some understanding between the players who have been playing. The partnership that has existed between Jackson and Kwadwo Poku has been good.

 He added: There is going to be a time that we might need Akuffu; so these are some of the ways by which you must get him to be in sync with the team. Others have been quite busy for this game, so we rested them. We’re going to come back strongly to prepare for the cup final.”

The winner of the tie will represent the country at next year's CAF Confederation Cup.
