The first of two encounters in the CAF Confederations Cup Play-offs, as the hometeam Asante Kotoko will try to edge ES Sétif in their own ballpark.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
It should be mentioned that ES Sétif play their home matches on artifical turf, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on grass. Does it matter? Recent statistics for ES Sétif on grass are 5 victories, 6 draws and 4 defeats from 15 games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 16-17. You can compare this with overall results below.
It's quite the trip for ES Sétif when visiting Asante Kotoko as the cities are 4800 kilometers apart.
