High flying Kumasi Asante Kotoko have two cagey away duels to clear on Saturday and on June 4, in the Onetouch Premier League.
Liberty Professionals first play host to the league leaders at the El Wak Stadium in their 22nd Week Premier League game, before Kotoko trek to Tamale to face the fury of Real Tamale United in an outstanding league game. Heart of Lions descended on the Tamale Stadium to hand United a 4:0 drubbing in the 20th week games, the heaviest for the pride of the North since entering the premier league. They have since been looking for an opportunity to redeem themselves, however that resolve failed to yield any good results when they were forced to yet another jolting result at home, settling for 2:2 with Tema Youth. But the United threat will have to wait a bit, while Kotoko plan how to return from El Wak with broad smiles on the faces of their teeming followers. Liberty have themselves been inconsistent lately, going down 3:1 to no other side than the struggling Zaytuna FC but against Kotoko though, there could be some extra-ordinary motivation to upset the odds. Liberty are not a bad side on a good day, and upsetting Kotoko cannot be too big a grounds breaking ceremony. It looks more of a draw. All Blacks take on the troubled Great Olympics at the Swedru Park, while Ashantigold and Real Sportive slug it out at the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium. Sekondi Hasaacas mark their return to their Sekondi home base after a three-match ban for fan violence with a clash against the troublesome Wa All Stars.
Kessben FC will play host to RTU while Tema Youth and Berekum Arsenals vie for honours at the Tema Stadium. The games are being played on Saturday to pave way for the Ghana vrs Libya 2010 African Nations Cup and World Cup qualifier on Sunday at the Baba Yara Stadium. Other matches postponed to June 4 include King Faisal vrs Zaytuna FC and Hearts of Oak vrs Heart of Lions.
