Asante Kotoko will be aiming for a third consecutive victory when they welcome Bechem United to the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi on Sunday.
Head coach Karim Zito has eased pressure with recent wins over Dreams FC and Eleven Wonders, but another positive result is required to further steady Kotoko’s title ambitions. The Porcupine Warriors are three points off the summit, and while a win could lift them to the top, their fate will also depend on results involving fellow contenders such as Aduana FC.
Kotoko’s campaign remains firmly on course, built on a balance of attacking efficiency and defensive discipline. They are unbeaten at home this season, recording four wins and three draws, and will look to make home advantage count once again.
Bechem United arrive with renewed confidence after securing back-to-back clean sheet victories against Eleven Wonders and Swedru All Blacks, yet they remain uncomfortably close to the relegation zone. Their struggles on the road are well documented, having failed to win any of their seven away matches this season, a record that presents a difficult task against a strong Kotoko side in Kumasi.
Recent meetings between the two sides suggest a competitive fixture. Since November 2022, they have faced each other six times, with Kotoko winning once, Bechem twice, and three matches ending level. Their most recent clash in April 2025 finished 1-1.
Kotoko sit fourth on 27 points after 15 matches, while Bechem United are 16th with 16 points from the same number of games.
