Asante Kotoko’s 12-point lead comes under severe test when they clash with relegation-threatened Mighty Jets in their Glo Premier encounter at the Accra Stadium tomorrow.
Jets seem desperate to go all out to pick all points to guard against their premiership status, but that appears herculean task considering Kotoko’s razor sharp form this season.
Kotoko, aiming for a third straight win after subduing Wassaman and perennial rivals Hearts of Oak arrived from their Kumasi base last night and are currently pitching camp at the Lizzy Sports Complex, East Legon.
It has come up that there is the high possibility of trainer Maxwell Konadu resting most of the regulars due to the magnitude of the game for the reserves.
Even that seems a difficult assignment for the home side taking into account the richness of Kotoko’s bench.
But Jets returnee manager, Jonas Amissah, believes it is football and is hoping against hope to claw all three points.
His confidence stems from his 2-1 victory over Kotoko the last time they played against the Porcupine Warriors at the same venue.
Hearts of Oak will take their turn at the same venue on Sunday when they play tenth-placed Ebusua Dwarfs, with Wa All Stars travelling to Berekum to face another relegation threatened Arsenals.
Another interesting game will see the two teams financed by Emmanuel Kyeremeh, Tema Youth and Chelsea battling for supremacy at the Tema Astro Turf Park.
Wassaman will stay home to welcome New Edubiase.
Liberty Professionals lying fifth on the league table will be the guests of Bechem United with Ashgold welcoming Medeama to the Len Clay Stadium.
