Asante Kotoko, the reigning Ghana Premier League champions, face a stern test against Berekum Chelsea at the Golden City Park in week four of the league.
The Porcupines, who stumbled to a draw in their last match, are desperate to return to winning ways.
After a promising start with a victory over Karela United, Kotoko’s momentum was halted by a disappointing home draw against Young Apostles.
The late equalizer from Emmanuel Antwi salvaged a point for the Porcupines, but it was not enough to satisfy the demanding fans.
Coach Prosper Narteh Ogum, determined to appease the Kotoko faithful, is seeking a crucial win against Berekum Chelsea, a team known for causing upsets. The Blues, led by experienced coach Samuel Boadu, have a similar start to the season and present a formidable challenge.
Both teams have exciting matches against Nsoatreman coming up, which could further impact their league positions.
