Asante Kotoko SC remains in the race to defend the Ghana Premier League title, and that requires a victory at all costs when they tackle Karela United FC in a matchday 32 encounter with live commentary on MAX 89.FM at 15:00 p.m.
Monday’s match at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi gives the Porcupine Warriors the chance to close in on leaders Medeama SC.
Kotoko are presently sitting in fifth place in the league standings, nine points adrift of the summit. Any kind of result apart from a victory will see their title hopes crash.
The defending champions go into Monday’s game with a lot of motivation, having claimed a 3-1 win over Kotoku Royals FC in the last round.
Karela are traveling from Nzema-Aiyinase to Kumasi to take on the Ghanaian giants in top gear, having gone four games unbeaten with two victories and two draws in the process.
Despite their improved form, Karela remain in the relegation battle as they find themselves in the danger zone on the league table.
Karela is 16th in the league standings with 40 points. They are two points away from the safe places.
The Pride and Passion side has managed just one away win in the league all season but is unbeaten in the last two. They hope to continue that run against Kotoko on Monday.
