Berekum Chelsea vs Asante Kotoko SC Prediction: The resurgent guests won’t have a smooth sail here

Berekum Chelsea can’t afford to lose three consecutive games when they face off against Asante Kotoko at Golden City Park on Saturday with a top-four finish at stake. Berekum Chelsea have been formidable on their ground this season but face a stern test ahead of their clash against a resurgent Asante Kotoko team. 

Last five games: WLWLL

For the first time in nine games, Berekum Chelsea lost on their ground in what seemed to have been a fixed game. Christopher Ennin's men surrendered to a superior team, Hearts of Oak, at home. The visitors found the back of the net three times and could have scored more against Berekum Chelsea. They have now lost twice over their last three games, and Berekum Chelsea are just three points away from the continental spot, having picked up forty-one points from a combined eighty-seven, scoring twenty-eight and conceding thirty-five times.

Berekum Chelsea have won nine, drawn three, and lost twice at home this season.

The Porcupine Warriors jumped to the tenth spot on the standings after their recent run lately. Asante Kotoko has improved over the last three games, winning twice and sharing the spoils once. Asante Kotoko head here following their (2-0) convincing victory over Legon Cities. Steven Mukwala and Yusuf Mohammed Nurudeen scored in both halves to secure the hosts their eleventh win of the season. It was a deserved victory, and we expect them to draw motivation from their recent win to see off a strong Berekum Chelsea team. 

Prosper Ogun men are seven points away from the relegation zone and can still achieve a top-four finish if they win all their remaining games. 

Asante Kotoko are the second-best away team with four wins, four stalemates, and seven defeats. 

Berekum Chelsea have won six while Asante Kotoko have recorded seven victories and seven games ending in a stalemate in their previous twenty meetings. Berekum Chelsea suffered another defeat on their ground, leading to back-to-back losses in the league. They stand a chance to finish strong this season and pick up the CAF continental championship ticket. At the same time, Asante Kotoko seemed to be back on their feet after seven games without a victory. They are back in the race to finish fourth this season, and a win on the road will boost their morale in the remaining games.

It’s not going to be a smooth game for both teams, and we expect both teams to settle for a second-half draw for 2.10.

Berekum Chelsea won’t lose three consecutive matches, and we believe they’ll at least secure a point here; bet on a home win or draw and over 1.5 goals for 1.92.

We expect both teams to settle for a halftime stalemate for 1.75.

Good luck!
