Asante Kotoko vs Nations FC Prediction: The visitors can be deadly on the road

On Sunday, Asante Kotoko will face off against Nations FC at the Baba Yara Stadium. The hosts have been inconsistent in recent weeks, while the visitors have lost once in their previous five games.

Last five games: LWLLL

The Porcupine Warriors dropped to 8th place on the log after losing three consecutive matches. Who could have predicted such a terrible run for a side who were once unbeaten in eight games. Asante Kotoko march here with a (2-1) defeat on the road as they were beaten by Aduana Stars on the road. This result was before their (2-3) loss against Accra Lions on their ground. There have been questions raised by the fans in recent games as they don’t believe Prosper Ogun is still the man for the job. Asante Kotoko have won five, drawn three, and lost twice at home this season.

After their decent run, the hosts returned to the second spot on the log. They won back-to-back against Dreams and Berekum Chelsea. Nations FC scored just once against Dreams FC, while they found the back of the net three times against Berekum Chelsea, keeping clean sheets in both games. Kassim Mingle's men are one of the surprises of the season, having played twenty-two times with eleven victories. The newly promoted have picked up thirty-seven points from a combined sixty-six, scoring twenty-six and conceding sixteen times.

Asante Kotoko have an excellent record against the visitors, with a win and a draw. Both meetings produced ten goals, with Asante Kotoko scoring six times. Asante Kotoko have now failed to keep a clean sheet in their previous three matches as the performance of their defenders nosedived. At the same time, Nations FC have not really been bad on the road, with three wins in their last five games. They have conceded more than once in just a game on the road this season. 

Asante Kotoko will likely rely on their solid performance against Nations FC in the Cup game to amass the maximum points here; we expect the hosts to win for 1.72.

Even though the visitors hardly play a BTTS on the road, their last two games against Asante Kotoko have ended in both teams getting a goal apiece. We think the hosts will win here, but a BTTS will surface for 2.50.

This game might end in a halftime draw for 1.83.

Good luck!
