Action is to be expected at Len Clay Stadium when Asante Kotoko face Karela in what should be a great game. Here's all you need to know!

Insights:
  • Asante Kotoko have the fewest conceded goals (16) in Premier League
  • Karela have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

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.

Asante Kotoko are battling for top spots and have everything to play for. Karela are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

A strong away win for Asante against Inter Allies the last match.

Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Ashanti Gold.

Karela form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Karela so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 1-7-6 (win-draw-lose).

Impressive finishing secured the home win 2-0 against Wa All Stars in their previous game.

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Medeama's place.

A new game in only four days for Karela, the Premier League home match versus Ebusua Dwarfs. Busy days.

The attacking power of Karela when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 14 league matches away. Karela have conceded 18 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Karela - Asante 0-2 earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last three meetings): Asante won two games, zero matches ended with a draw and Karela has one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / two
