A day ago
With the absence of Joseph Ablorh, coach Prosper Narteh Ogum has reverted to the four back system and also pushed Fredrick Asare back to the bench as Mohammed Camara gets another chance to keep the post for Asante Kotoko. So that means the team would be captained by Chief Justice Nkuku Blay who didn't really have a good game against Legon Cities on Wednesday.

Blay would partner Samba for the first time in the Ghana Premier League apart from the friendlies and other unofficial matches they have played together as a center back per.
Also Saaka Dauda and Michael Kyei Dwamena make their return into the starting elven after missing the last two.
Asante Kotoko Sporting Club will be hosting one of the most decent sides in the GPL in the shape of Heart of Lions Football Club Limited and they can be assured of the best of treaments in Obuasi today.
Heart of Lions, since their return to top flight football have recorded incident free atmosphere in Kpando.
They play good football and win or lose honourably.
This is one of the teams that i respect so much and this afternoon's encounter will be a keen contest only on the green turf.
The good treatment that Lions have been giving out to other teams should be replicated by all other teams and that's exactly what we gonna offer them today, notwithstanding, the 3 valuable points will not be part of the bundle of good treatment from the king's club to them. It's not part of the package this afternoon.
Lions will go back with some sense of fabulous experience from the mighty club excluding any point.
Welcome home, Heart of Lions.
