The former midfielder, who was part of Kotoko’s dominant sides in the early 2010s, believes the club’s 1-0 victory over Hearts of Oak in the Super Clash has further strengthened their confidence.
“Also, beating Hearts of Oak is an extra motivation, and I think the team will be poised for the next game against Vision FC,” he noted. “From what I see, I think they will win the league. If they don’t win it, I will be surprised.” he told ghanasportspage.com.
Kotoko’s win over their arch-rivals extended their unbeaten run and pushed them closer to the top of the table, with three games in hand.
