Asante Kotoko are set to play Accra Great Olympics at the Sogakope Park in the BetPawa Premier League this afternoon.
The Porcupine Warriors come into this game on the back of a 2-1 win against Aduana Stars. A first half strike from Steven Mukwala and a second-half goal from Eric Zeze secured the maximum points for the defending champions.
Great Olympics, on the other hand, drew 1-1 with Tamale City.
The Dade Boys are currently 17th in the league, one point behind 17th-placed, while Kotoko sit 5th with 42 points.
The hosts are still among the favourites to get relegated, but they will fight to avoid the drop in their subsequent matches.
