Ghana Premier League Preview: Asante Kotoko vs Bolga All Stars- Porcupines eager to bounce back against basement boys
Asante Kotoko-

Asante Kotoko SC are expected to get it easy when they host relegation bound Bolga All Stars at the Babayara stadium this Sunday to end their winless streak. 

The Porcupine Warriors are without a victory in their last three premiership matches with the latest on Wednesday as they succumbed to WAFA SC with 2-0 loss.

Despite being invincible at home this season, Asante Kotoko SC have won only two of their last eight home games in the premiership.

They need Sunday's victory to close down the gap between them and the leaders.

10 points are separating them and WAFA SC on the league table.

Central defender Awal Mohammed is likely to miss this fixture with an injury whereas striker Sadick Adams will need to be assessed before Sunday.

Bolga All Stars had their season moved from worse to worst when interim head coach Baba Nuhu Mallam resigned from his post three weeks ago.

The Stars of the East move faster to relegation after every match in the second round.

They have picked only two points from a possible 27 after nine matches in the second round of this season.

If they lose to Asante Kotoko SC on Sunday and Liberty Professionals manage to pick at least a point from their visit to Ebusua Dwarfs, their relegation will be confirmed.
