Bechem United vs Asante Kotoko Prediction: The hosts will be victorious on their ground

On Saturday, Bechem United will be determined to reduce the deficit at the top of the league when they host Asante Kotoko at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Stadium. The visitors have lost four consecutive matches and are without three of their key players for this encounter.

The Hunters head here with a share of the spoils against Berekum Chelsea on the road. After taking the lead at the break, they were reduced to ten men, as the hosts took advantage to split points. Bechem United have been inconsistent lately, and with their recent stalemate on the road, they’ll likely win on their ground. 

Since parting ways with their best player, Augustine Okrah, Bechem United have struggled in front of goal. 

Bechem United have picked up thirty-three points from a possible sixty-six as they sit in 5th place on the log. 

Bechem United have drawn twice, won seven, and lost two in their last eleven home games, scoring sixteen and conceding six.

The Porcupine Warriors suffered a shocking home defeat as they dropped to 10th on the log. After losing four consecutive matches, Asante Kotoko's chances of qualifying for the continental spot continue to nosedive. Who could have predicted such a terrible run for a side who were once unbeaten in eight games. There have been questions raised by the fans in recent games as to whether Prosper Ogun is still the man for the job. Asante Kotoko have won four, drawn two, and lost six away from home this season. 

Over their previous twenty meetings, Bechem United have won six while Asante Kotoko have recorded ten victories and three games ending in a tie. Bechem United have lost just once in their last six games on their ground but have actually been inconsistent on the road. At the same time, Asante Kotoko have been extremely poor and lacks the enthusiasm to compete. For the first time since 2012, the visitors lost four consecutive matches. They’re now ten points below the league leaders, having played a game more. 

We can’t trust the visitors here as they have been underperforming lately, but we think both teams will settle for a halftime draw here for 1.92.

We expect the hosts to secure the maximum points for 1.71.

The visitors might likely get a goal here; bet on BTTS for 2.30.

Good luck!
