Interim Kotoko coach Michael Osei expects a tactical battle against Inter Allies on Saturday when the two teams meet at the Tema Park for their match day 18 Premier League fixture.
The coach says he has the strategy to force a positive result in the potentially touch away fixture.
Kotoko won the first round encounter by 1-0 on a rainy afternoon in Kumasi in May thanks to a 60th minute penalty strike by skipper, Amos Frimpong.
Speaking to Asantekotokosc.com ahead of Saturday’s game, Michael Osei predicted a fierce challenge from his opposite number, Jimmy Cobblah maintaining that, he has a game plan to avoid defeat.
“We are going all out on Saturday. I normally don’t talk tactics ahead of games. I know the game plan to deploy. I believe strongly that it can get me my desired results” said the Kotoko coach.
“Inter Allies were very determined in the first game. That was because they wanted to impress their coach who was new then.
“He’s a good coach but the case is different now. I have confidence in my men, we are in good shape.
"I will play with the same character and determination that we used to beat Hearts in Accra last week."
