Aduana vs Asante Kotoko Prediction: Aduana to narrowly qualify for next round

At Lyphil Enterprise GH, Aduana will play host to Asante Kotoko in the first round of the eighth competition of the Ghana Cup. In their most recent match, the home team won and the away team, Asante Kotoko, tied.

Aduana - home team to win

Two of the games Aduana played before, against Accra Lions FC and Bechem United, ended in a draw. Aduana won all the remaining three of their matches against Dreams, Nsoatreman, and Accra Hearts of Oak. Aduana was able to score six goals while only allowing one to be scored against them. During the current league season, Aduana has scored 1.11 goals on average in every contest they have participated in. In terms of disciplinary action, the away team was given one red card and 29 yellow cards during their match at home. This season, Aduana has only kept the ball for an average of 39.20 percent of the time, which shows that they can't keep it.

Asante Kotoko - visiting Kotoko will struggle

In their previous games, Asante Kotoko had a record of two wins against Kotoku Royals and Accra Lions FC, two losses to Karela United and Dreams, and one tie with Nsoatreman. Asante Kotoko only managed to score one goal while allowing 12 goals against them. During the current league season, Asante Kotoko has scored 1.39 goals on average in every game they have played. For team discipline, the host team was given 29 yellow cards but no red cards throughout the game. This season, Asante Kotoko has an average possession of the ball of 50.0%, which indicates that the team is lacking some capacity to keep hold of the ball.

Expert Betting Tips

Even though the odds of winning look close, the home team is undoubtedly the better side in this match, and it will not be surprising if they snatch the win in this battle. In light of their recent run leading up to this clash, they have put in a respectable performance, which, given that they are playing on their own soil, ought to be able to serve as a source of momentum for them. Because I do not anticipate any particularly strong offensive play from Asante Kotoko, I believe that the total number of goals scored in this match will not exceed two. I anticipate that both goals will be scored by the home team, Aduana, because I do not anticipate any particularly strong offensive play from Asante Kotoko.
