Out-of-form Asante Kotoko are determined to return to winning ways in their home clash against high-flying Nations FC in an Ashanti derby of Ghana Premier League week 11 fixture at the Len Clay Stadium.

The Porcupines have endured a rough patch, losing three consecutive games, which has seen them slip to sixth place on the table with 15 points, five adrift of league leaders Bibiani Gold Stars.

Kotoko’s attacking struggles, with only eight goals scored this season, have been compounded by defensive lapses, having conceded in their last four matches.

Head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum has called for patience from the club's supporters as he works to address the team's deficiencies.

On the other hand, Nations FC are enjoying an impressive campaign, sitting second on the league table with 19 points, just one behind the leaders.

They, who are on three-game winning run, share the honor of being the league's top scorers and also boast the joint-best defensive record.

For Kotoko, a positive result will require a top-notch performance, as Nations FC are keen on cementing their title credentials in what promises to be a thrilling encounter.
