Asante Kotoko vs Karela United Prediction: Porcupine Warriors will torment their opponent

Asante Kotoko will strive for their first three points of the season when they host Karela United at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday. The Porcupine Warriors' building process continued, but with a price, as they bowed to pressure on the road, unlike Karela United, who put three goals past their opponent.

How the mighty has fallen as the Porcupine Warriors surrendered to another defeat on the road. After holding their ground at halftime, Gold Stars scored in the 66th minute, but Asante responded four minutes later. The home side surged forward and got another goal, and the visitors couldn’t do anything this time.

Porcupine Warriors, who had one of their most difficult campaigns last season, appeared to be indifferent since the league began.

It’s evident that the Porcupine Warriors are trying to rebuild with young faces in their starting eleven, and their fans have to understand this. Asante Kotoko head into the new season with a new coach; unfortunately, he’s still looking for his first three points of the season.

After a successful last season, Karela United have lost once and won a game in this campaign. Karela United bounced back from their (2-1) opening-day defeat to Legon FC, defeating Berekum Chelsea at home. Evans Adomako’s brace and George Amonoo's goals were enough to secure Karela United the maximum points.

Karela United have scored four times this season and have lost once in their last five away matches.

Over their previous nine meetings, Asante Kotoko have won four, while Karela United have recorded three victories and two games ending in a tie. The last four meetings at Asante Kotoko's home ground have witnessed BTTS. Karela United have failed to keep a clean sheet in their five consecutive games. Asante Kotoko can’t ask for a better side to get their first win of the season, but it will come with a price, as we expect both sides to get a goal apiece here for 2.32.

Asante Kotoko's win for 1.77 will be worth it.

We expect to see more than two goals here for 2.62.

Good luck!
