Asante Kotoko are chasing the top table places while Elmina Sharks are more concerned with steering clear of relegation. Expected home win or surprise away points?
- Asante Kotoko have the fewest conceded goals (19) in Premier League
- Elmina Sharks have the fewest scored goals (22) in Premier League
Asante Kotoko are already the Premier League winners and can relax with the season objective secured. If they do relax it might give the away team a slightly better chance in this one. For Elmina it's their last days at this level as relegation is a fact. This football stadium has grass, which is not Elmina Sharks's normal surface at their own field. When playing on grass Elmina Sharks have performed like this: Played 24 matches with the results 1 win, 6 draws and 17 defeats with the goal numbers 13-44 (scored/conceded).
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
