Asante Kotoko travel to Bibiani hoping to beat Gold Stars and maintain their 100 percent start to the Ghana Premier League.

Only Asante Kotoko and King Faisal are yet to drop points in the league after two games.

The Porcupine Warriors have collected six points, scored five goals and conceded. They commenced with a 3-1 win over Dreams FC, scoring all their goals after the 85th minute mark.

Another late drama ensued last Sunday with Kototo scoring two goals to beat Bechem United in Kumasi.

So far, it has been very good for Dr Prosper Ogum's men, but they should know that the season is still too early and must stay focused.

They will be without captain Ismail Ganiu who is on national duty with the Black Stars.

Gold Stars are also unbeaten with four points from six in their first season in the top-flight. They are the only newly-promoted who haven’t tasted defeat.

They opened their account with a 1-0 win over former champions Berekum Chelsea and snatched a late draw in Tarkwa against favourites Medeama.

However, their unbeaten start is under threat as they face 23-time champions. Gold Stars will require a memorable performance to cause a massive upset.

Gold Stars can draw inspiration from their fans who are sure to flood the stadium. They also have a manager who knows Kotoko very well. Michael Osei performed well as a Kotoko player and once coached them.

The kick-off is at 3 pm and will be televised.
