Week 28 of the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League will feature a big fixture between Medeama Sporting Club and Asante Kotoko Sporting Club.

The two clubs will lock horns this weekend in Tarkwa to fight for three important points.

In this preview, we look at the form, head-to-head, and the talking points of the fixture ahead of the game.

Form

The hosts, Medeama SC are defending champions of the Ghana Premier League title but have struggled to compete in the league.

In the last five matches, the team has suffered three defeats and managed to pick two wins.

For a side that won the Premier League title just last season, this performance is below par and deemed unacceptable by some fans.

Asante Kotoko on the other hand, are not doing well either.

The team has just one win in the last five matches, drawn one, and lost the other three.

For a team that is currently on the worst possible run, things are not looking good for the Reds ahead of the big fixture against Medeama SC.

Head-to-head

Data from the last five meetings between the two clubs is in favour of Asante Kotoko. The Kumasi-based club has won four of the last five and only lost once to its opponent.

While that highly favours the visiting team, coach Prosper Narteh Ogum and his boys must be cautious.

Talking Points

The outcome of this fixture will not significantly impact the standings of the league table.

For Asante Kotoko, the team is hoping to secure victory as the club stays keen on making the top four at the end of the league.

Predicted scoreline

Looking at the form of Asante Kotoko in the last 10 matches, a win for Medeama SC looks more likely.

Medeama SC 2-1 Asante Kotoko.

The match between Medeama SC and Asante Kotoko will be played at Akoon Park on Saturday, April 27.
