Felix Boansi Kumasi Asante Kotoko is set to take on the newly promoted side Young Apostles in week three of the Ghana Premier League on Sunday, 22nd September 2024.
This will be the first competitive meeting between the two in the Ghanaian top-flight league.
Match Preview.
Kumasi Asante Kotoko began the season on the right note after defeating Karela United by a goal to nil on the road in week one of the Ghana Premier League.
The result was important after the team finished sixth in the league last season, a position that placed the majority of the fans in disbelief.
One significant aspect the fixture brings is that Kotoko will be playing away from their familiar home ground, that is the Baba Yara sports stadium, haven adopted the Len Clay due to ongoing maintenance work at their original venue.
With a game in hand against Nsoatreman FC, both the fans and players of Kotoko will have to get used to football at the Obuasi Len Cley sports stadium, a situation the visitors can capitalize on.
Young Apostles, who are making their debut appearance in the league, are yet to pick a win after two games.
The Wenchi-based clubs suffered a 2:0 defeat against Nsoatreman FC before playing goalless against Nations FC.
