The new season is about to kick off and the fans are tingling with excitement. It’s all to play for as WAFA welcome Asante Kotoko for the opening game. Read on!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for WAFA and Asante Kotoko.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Asante Kotoko have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 2-2-4 (win-draw-loss) from eight matches.
WAFA form and stats
The manager A. Patron will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to King Faisal in only three days.

Asante Kotoko form and stats
The schedule is very tough for Asante Kotoko now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier League game at Dreams is waiting in only four days.
