Nouadhibou get ready to welcome Asante Kotoko for something different than the ordinary league football: The CAF Champions League Preliminary Round leg 1 of 2.
Asante Kotoko could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Premier League game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Berekum Chelsea. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Asante Kotoko play their home games on grass, while this game is played on artifical turf. Recent stats for Asante Kotoko when playing on artifical turf are 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats from eight matches. They have scored 6 goals and conceded 9 times in these games.
It's quite the trip for Asante Kotoko when visiting Nouadhibou as the cities are 3200 kilometers apart.
Nouadhibou form and stats
Last season their CAF Champions League adventure ended in the 1st round.Nouadhibou are steadily winning Super D1 games and points here. 10 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 13 games. In general it's been a long time since Nouadhibou tasted defeat here, as they have taken at least one point from their last twelve home games in the league.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Tidjikja in the Super D1 last time out and are looking for a win here. Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Concorde.
The Nouadhibou fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 25 goals in 13 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only -1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Nouadhibou are not conceding a lot of goals here in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 9 from 13 matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Asante Kotoko form and stats
They also participated in CAF Champions League last season. This ended in the 1st round.With three draws in a row for Asante Kotoko the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.
Asante has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Berekum Chelsea for a Premier League game that ended a draw (1-1). A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Eleven Wonders in the Premier League.
A new game in only two days for Asante, the Premier League home match versus Great Olympics. Busy days.
