Young Apostles will face Asante Kotoko at the Wenchi Sports Stadium on Wednesday in a rescheduled Ghana Premier League clash. The match, originally set for February, was postponed due to the unfortunate passing of Kotoko supporter Nana Pooley.
This encounter marks the first meeting between the two sides since their 1-1 draw six months ago.
Currently sitting 10th on the table with 27 points, Young Apostles enter the game on the back of a 2-1 win over Accra Lions. Their home defence has been a major strength, having recorded four consecutive clean sheets. However, their offensive struggles persist, with just 14 goals in 21 matches, averaging 0.67 goals per game.
League leaders Asante Kotoko, with 38 points, have been one of the most consistent teams this season. They remain unbeaten in their last three games, though their previous match ended in a 1-1 draw against Samartex. Kotoko have netted 24 goals in 21 matches, but their defensive frailties have been evident, having conceded in each of their last four away fixtures.
Both teams have had closely contested battles in recent meetings, making this a highly competitive affair. Young Apostles will aim to leverage their home advantage, while Kotoko will be eager to solidify their title aspirations.
With both teams having plenty to fight for, this showdown in Wenchi promises to be an intense and entertaining spectacle.
