Asante Kotoko are set to face the free-scoring Accra Lions on Wednesday night at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in a matchweek 21 encounter.
The Porcupine Warriors are coming into the game on the back of a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Karela United in Nareligu on Saturday, March 9, 2024.
Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum’s men have been inconsistent in the second half of the 2023–24 campaign, especially on the road.
Kotoko midfielder Justice Blay believes his side can bounce back like they did in the first round.
“Although we have disappointed our supporters by not getting the wins or the needed results in the away games as we did in the first round, that’s how football is.
We all know that we had a slow start in the first round, but we were able to make amends and turn things around, and we almost went 10 games unbeaten, so it’s never too late for us,” he said to the club’s media.
He is confident that the Porcupine Warriors can get positive results from tonight’s clash, as they need to close the gap at the top.
“I will also urge our supporters to keep calm. The game against Accra Lions is our focus now; it’s a must-win game because we know points build up and our position on the league log. We will not go three games without a victory,” he added.
The match will be live on StarTimes Adepa, channel 247, at 6 p.m.
