The Porcupine Warriors settled for a (2-2) share of the spoils against Nation FC following a controversial ruling to award the home team a penalty with the last kick of the game. Asante Kotoko didn’t really start well until Andrews Ntim scored in his own net. They fought back and got two quick goals; however, the hosts levelled from the spot to split points.

The Porcupine Warriors, who had one of their most difficult campaigns last season, appeared to be enjoying life again.

Prosper Narteh's tactical shrewdness is unrivalled; he has instilled much confidence in the team. He understands the emotional needs and expectations of the former league champions.

The Hunters ended their three games without a win when they scored twice against ten men Berekum Chelsea. After a quiet halftime, the games came to life when the visitors were shown the red and Bechem United pounced on the opportunity to secure the maximum points. The result came after their resilience performance against Legon Cities on the road, which saw them settle for a (1-1) fair share of the spoils.

Bechem United had the best home record last season, which helped them secure a stay in the league; however, they have one of the worst away records in the division.

Over their previous nineteen meetings, Bechem United have won six, while Asante Kotoko have had eleven victories and two share of the spoils. Asante Kotoko have improved their performance in recent games, and with their display against Nations FC, they’ll probably get all the points here. On the other hand, Bechem United are yet to have a breakthrough in their last thirteen games on the road. Asante Kotoko rarely wins on their own turf, but we’re trusting them to get their second win of the season at home here for 1.61.

This encounter might end in a halftime draw for 1.98.

Asante Kotoko have not been effective in front of goals lately, and we expect to see more goals after the break for 2.15.

Good luck!
