Newbies Bibiani Gold Stars will be testing their strength against heavyweights Asante Kotoko in a herculean Ghana Premier League match-week 2 fixture on Friday afternoon at the Dun’s Park.
The teams have recorded a perfect start so far in the ongoing season having avoided defeat in their opening two matches and will look to fight for the bragging right today.
The Miners definitely will be expecting another huge crowd this afternoon just like their debut game against Berekum Chelsea- a game they won narrowly by 1-0.
Also Joshua Akoto’s late goal secured them a vital point against Medeama SC at the Akoon Park in their second game of the season and will hope to maintain their perfect run.
Meanwhile, the Porcupine Warriors will also be heading into this game with so much confidence having recorded two wins in their opening two games.
They humbled Dreams FC by 1-3 away from home in the opening day before surviving very late to edge out Bechem United with a handicap victory last Sunday launching their return to the Baba Yara Stadium in a stupendous fashion.
Asante Kotoko after two matches are leading the league with 6 points whiles Gold Stars are also found 7th on the standing with 4 points.
TEAM NEWS
Bibiani Gold Stars have no any major injury concerns in camp as coach Michael Osei and his charges are set for action against his former club.
