Dreams FC head coach Abdul Karim Zito has expressed his determination to lead his team to victory against Asante Kotoko on Saturday, December 21, 2024, at the Tuba Astro Turf. Despite acknowledging the challenges posed by the current squad's inexperience, Zito remains optimistic about their chances of winning.
In a pre-match interview, Zito highlighted the advantage of playing on home turf and drew inspiration from past victories over the Porcupine Warriors. He noted that although the current squad is comprised of younger players making their debut in the Ghana Premier League, they are capable of rising to the occasion.
"I remember when Kotoko won the league, I still beat them," Zito said. "But I can't talk about it much this time around because the players I had then are not the same players I have now. These are younger players trying to come in. It won't be easy for us, but since we are playing at home, we've set our target. Our target is to win."
Dreams FC has struggled to replicate their impressive form from last season, when they reached the semifinals of the CAF Confederation Cup. This season, they have accumulated a meager 12 points from 13 league matches, leaving them second from bottom in the league standings.
Furthermore, Dreams FC holds an unenviable record of having the worst home record in the league, with just one win from six home games. In contrast, Asante Kotoko is regaining their footing in the league, having strung together two impressive victories, including a crucial win over their arch-rivals Hearts of Oak in the Super Clash.
Despite these challenges, Zito remains confident in his team's ability to secure a win against Kotoko. With the right mindset and strategy, Dreams FC can overcome their opponents and climb up the league standings. The match promises to be an exciting encounter, with both teams eager to secure a win and improve their position in the league.
