Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Asante Kotoko will look to rebound from their shocking loss to Real Tamale United when they host Legon Cities.<\/p>\n

RTU, who are fighting for survival, defeated the Porcupine Warriors 2-1 in the northern region.<\/p>\n

RTU won with a goal in each game, with Franck Mbella Etouga scoring a consolation goal to bring his season total to 17 goals.<\/p>\n

Returning to the Baba Yara Stadium, where they have only lost once this season, Kotoko are confident of resuming their winning ways and possibly extending their lead at the top.<\/p>\n

Kotoko has an eight-point lead over their nearest rival, Bechem United, who could drop points against Karel United.<\/p>\n

Legon Cities can be difficult at times. They are coached by a man who is all too familiar with Kotoko. Maxwell Konadu has both played and coached for Kotoko.<\/p>\n

Konadu led Kotoko to the league title in 2012, but his second tenure did not go as planned, as he was fired in the middle of last season.<\/p>\n

He’ll be hoping to send Kotoko down again and throw the title race wide open.<\/p>\n

Konadu’s team have done well this season, having come to close to being relegated last season. They survived with a win on the final day.<\/p>\n

Legon Cities are currently closer to the top half of the table, with only five points separating them from the relegation zone.<\/p>\n

Avoiding defeat will do them a lot of good and give them the motivation to finish the season strong.<\/p>\n

Kotoko have won their last five league games against Legon Cities.<\/p>\n
