We'll defeat Hearts of Oak - Kotoko striker Mukwala

Asante Kotoko's striker, Stephen Mukwala is brimming with confidence about his side's chances of beating their arch-rivals Hearts of Oak in their Week 31 fixture of the Ghana Premier League at the Baba Yara Stadium.

The two most decorated clubs in Ghana will come toe-to-toe in the Ghana Premier League on Sunday, May 26, 2024.

Kotoko lies in 10th place, while Hearts of Oak are 12th on the league log.

The Ugandan striker, who has scored three goals for Kotoko in their last three matches, is upbeat about helping his side win the big match.

"We are much more determined as a team, and even as individuals, we are also determined. We are ready to give our all. We know we are not in a good position, but we shall fight hard to make sure that at least, on Sunday, we can pick the maximum points," he told Citisports.

Kotoko is likely to play the game without midfielders Sherif Mohammed and Richmond Lamptey due to injuries, but Mukwala believes Kotoko is not an individual affair and adopting a team approach will be the surest way to overcome their opponents in the "Super Clash."

"Kotoko is a big club, which means Kotoko can't depend on individuals; we will work as a team. So basically, for Lamptey's issue, I know Zeze can also play the same part as Lamptey or equally well as Lamptey, so I don't think it will be a threat to us," he explained.
