Liberty threaten Kotoko’s lead
Accra, Nov 30, GNA – Kumasi Asante Kotoko’s position at the
top of the Onetouch Premier League table will be given a
severe test when they travel to Accra on Sunday, December 3
to play as guests of Dansoman-based Liberty Professionals in
the 13th week fixtures of the league.
The “Porcupine Warriors” dethroned Ashantigold, who had
occupied the top position from the beginning of the season,
courtesy the lone goal victory achieved over the Miners last
week.
Matches between the two sides have always been full of
thrills but this time round, Liberty have promised to end
the recent winning spree of their guests with a repeat of
last season’s 3-0 victory achieved at the Ohene Djan Sports
Stadium in Accra.
Even though Liberty’s hatchet man in last season’s feat,
Kwame Obeng Darko has crossed carpet to Kotoko, Liberty are
hopeful of launching their “Operation Giant Killers” scheme
with a victory over the current league leaders.
The confidence of Kotoko’s Turkish coach, Tellat Uzum has
been buoyed by the unavailability of Liberty’s danger-man
and inspirer, Michael Helegbe as well as Eric Bekoe and Bawa
Mumuni and their technical director, Cecil Jones
Attuquayefio, who are all on national duty with the national
Olympic Team, the Black Meteors on a two week training tour
of France in an effort to record a fifth successive victory.
Even tough being their first visit to the Carl Reindorf
park, Coach Uzum and his boys are confident of returning
from their maiden appearance with the maximum points.
At Ho, bottom placed Power FC will engage Accra Hearts of
Oak in a dicey duel which favours the visitors since it
seems the Electricity lads have lost the energy to glitter
when it matters most.
Sekondi Hasaacas will welcome Kumasi King Faisal to the
Sekondi Gyandu Park whilst Kpando Heart of Lions trek to
Swedru as guests of Fetteh Feyenoord whose outcome will not
make any significant change on the league.
Gamba All Blacks looks set to return from the Tamale Kaladan
Park empty handed when they meet Real Tamale United (RTU)
who are desperate to climb up from the lower rungs of the
league table whilst Bofoakwa Tano
and Arsenal sort things out in a local regional rivalry at
the Sunyani Coronation Park.
On Saturday, two badly bruised sides, Tema Youth and
Ashantigold will clash at the Tema Park to redeem their
image whilst Great Olympics and Tema Real Sportive battle
each other in a match of equals at Ho.
