All eyes will be on the Baba Yara Sports Stadium this afternoon as Asante Kotoko lock horns with Dreams FC in the Ghana Premier League.
Kotoko, sitting 4th on the league table with 51 points from 30 matches, are aiming to solidify their place among the title contenders. With a slightly patchy recent form, two wins, one draw, and two losses in their last five games, coach Karim Zito will be looking for a strong home performance to get back to winning ways.
Dreams FC, currently 9th with 43 points, are no pushovers. Despite sitting lower on the log, they have shown sparks of brilliance, winning their last two matches. Their recent form suggests they’re peaking at the right time, and they’ll be keen to carry that momentum into Kumasi.
In their last five head-to-head meetings, Kotoko have had the upper hand, winning three, including a 2-1 victory earlier this year.
Dreams FC, however, stunned Kotoko with a 2-0 win in 2024 and also secured a memorable 1-0 win last season. The match promises to be a tightly contested affair, with both sides boasting dangerous attacking threats and disciplined backlines.
Kotoko’s home advantage at the Baba Yara Stadium could prove decisive, where their passionate fan base often fuels their performances. But Dreams FC are no strangers to causing upsets on big stages.
