GPL M26 Preview: Asante Kotoko aim for first ever league win over Nations FC

Ghana Premier League (GPL) giants Asante Kotoko will host their local rivals Nations FC at the Baba Yara Stadium, Kumasi on Sunday.

The Porcupines will be looking for their first ever league win over Nations FC as they welcome their neighbours to their home in this Matchday 26 fixture.

In five meetings with Nations FC since they joined the Ghanaian top-flight, Asante Kotoko have yet to pick a win, losing two and drawing three.

Fans of the club are eager for a win over they city rivals after they played out a goalless drawn game during the first round of this season's championship.

Asante Kotoko have not been in the best of forms, after losing one and drawing the other of their last two league games.

Beating Nations FC will not be an easy one for Asante Kotoko as the visitors are enjoying a good run at the moment in the competition.

Nations FC are also through to the last four of the MTN FA Cup competition as they seek to win the trophy for the first time.

They will look to make things difficult for Asante Kotoko on Sunday, and, one thing is certain, they will not play with fear.

That makes the task even more difficult for Asante Kotoko who are eager to get their season back on track as they look to maintain their chances of winning the diadem.

Kotoko are seven points behind leaders Medeama SC going into Sunday's matches, and, a win will keep them on course for a possible league win if other results favours them.
