Asante Kotoko vs Samartex Prediction: The Champions to return to winning ways

Following their (2-0) defeat against rival Bechem United, Asante Kotoko will strive to secure a win at home against newly promoted side Samartex on Sunday. Will Porcupine Warriors return to winning ways?

Asante Kotoko

Last four games: DWWL

The Porcupine Warriors are the most successful team in Ghana Premier League, with 24 titles. The Ghanaian giants head into this game following their (2-0) away defeat against Bechem United. Their first loss of the season ended in a disappointing performance from the champions. They were outnumbered as the home side scored twice in both halves to secure all the points.

Asante Kotoko have now won two, lost one and drawn once in the last four games, although the wins have been against average sides.

The Porcupine Warriors have made some great signings this season, and we expect them to retain the title even though they have been playing poorly lately.

Samartex

Last four games: DDDD

After their promotion to the premier league last season, Samartex are yet to lose a game. However, they have drawn their previous four games while scoring just three times.

They played out another (0-0) draw against a strong Accra Great Olympics. Before then, they secured a vital point away against Aduana Stars as the home side came back from two goals to secure a point.

Samartex can’t continue like this, as they need to start racking up points now just before playing more challenging teams.
