Asante Kotoko get ready to welcome Al Hilal Omdurman for something different than the ordinary league football: The CAF Champions League 1st Round leg 1 of 2.
The hosts Asante saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Premier League. That game was an away game at Dreams, so at least Asante are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
These teams have little in common geographically as Al Hilal Omdurman have to travel 5200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Asante Kotoko form and stats
Last season, Asante's CAF Champions League journey ended in the 1st round.Seven points from three Premier League home games is a great start for Asante Kotoko, who are hoping to build on that form here at Ohene Djan Sports Stadium. Asante haven’t lost a league-game in ten attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Aduana Stars, 308 days ago. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Asante, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Asante, as their goalkeeper has completely shut out the opponents for 270 minutes in the Premier League.
A strong away win for Asante against Dreams the last match. Previous to that game, a Premier League home match hosting Great Olympics in a game that was won 1-0.
The manager C. Akonnor will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Medeama in only three days.
The Asante fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. Defensively Asante Kotoko have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 3 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
