Prosper Narteh Ogum, the tactician for Asante Kotoko, is optimistic about his team's chances before their Ghana Premier League matchup with Samartex.
On Sunday, the Porcupine Warriors will meet the Timber Giants at Obuasi Len Clay Stadium on matchday seven of the local top flight.
During his pregame remarks, the former WAFA coach was confident that his team could defeat the reigning champions in the match.
Samartex, in my opinion, is a very good side and a well-run club. As you can see, they have a structure, therefore to score as many points as possible when playing them, you must be above them.
"We have seen them, and even if they are one game ahead of us, I don't think there will be a significant difference in match fitness."
"I think all we need to do is be calm, confident, and determined. Additionally, we play within a structure. The crowd will be behind us when we play at home. Even though they are the current champions, the players need to consider that it is possible. However, I feel that we are also capable and capable of finishing the task.
Samartex is in third place with ten points in the Ghana Premier League rankings, while Asante Kotoko is in second place with eleven points.
After six games in the domestic top division, it is noteworthy that Asante Kotoko is already one game behind.
