Asante Kotoko will be aiming to return to winning ways when they host Karela United on Thursday in a Ghana Premier League Matchday 5 fixture.
The Porcupine Warriors head into the encounter seeking a response after suffering defeat to Aduana FC in their previous league outing. They will be determined to use home advantage to get their campaign back on track.
Karela United, meanwhile, arrive in Kumasi with confidence after securing a 1-0 home victory over Accra Hearts of Oak on Matchday 4. The result gave the Tamale-based side momentum ahead of their difficult trip to face Kotoko.
History, however, favours the hosts. Kotoko have never suffered a home league defeat against Karela United, with the two sides having met six times on Kotoko’s home ground.
6 meetings, 3 Kotoko wins, 3 draws
0 Kotoko defeats
Karela will be hoping to end that unbeaten home record on Thursday, while Kotoko will be looking to strengthen their impressive record against the visitors and return to winning ways.
With both sides having plenty to fight for, the encounter promises to be a closely contested battle.
