Asante Kotoko return to the Nii Adjei Kraku II Park on Wednesday for a crucial league encounter against Vision FC, the only side to have beaten head coach Abdul Karim Zito in the Ghana premier league since he took charge of the Porcupine Warriors.
Zito, who has overseen an impressive run with just one league defeat to his name, suffered that lone setback in a 3-1 loss to Vision FC last season at the same venue. The match has since lingered in the minds of Kotoko supporters, adding an extra layer of intrigue ahead of this midweek fixture.
Both teams head into the encounter with contrasting ambitions. Kotoko are looking to extend their strong form and maintain pressure at the top end of the table, while Vision FC hope to build on last season’s success against the Kumasi giants.
The compact and lively setting of the Nii Adjei Kraku II Park in Tema New Town is expected to contribute to a charged atmosphere, with fans eager to see whether Kotoko can overturn last season’s result or if Vision FC can once again prove a difficult hurdle.
Kick-off is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, with both clubs promising a competitive and high-intensity contest.
