Premier League: Basake Holy Stars welcome unbeaten Asante Kotoko for rescheduled showdown on Wednesday

Relegation-battling Basake Holy Stars FC will look to revive their campaign when they host in-form Asante Kotoko on Wednesday in their outstanding match-week three fixture at the AAK II Arena.

Basake sit 17th after ten matches, having collected only six points from one win, three draws, and six defeats, the joint second-most losses in the league. Their struggles stem from issues at both ends of the pitch: they’ve scored just seven goals, the joint-fewest in the Premier League, and conceded 16, the league’s second-highest total. However, their home form provides a glimmer of hope.

In four matches at Aiyinase, they’ve managed a win, two draws and only one defeat, keeping two clean sheets. A victory against Kotoko would significantly boost their fight to escape the drop zone.

Asante Kotoko travel to the AAK II Arena in excellent shape, extending their unbeaten run to ten games after a hard-fought draw with FC Samartex.

The Porcupine Warriors remain the league’s only unbeaten side, with five wins, five draws, 11 goals scored and just four conceded, the joint-lowest tally. Their away record has been outstanding: two wins, three draws, two goals scored and remarkably, no goals conceded on the road.

Abdul Karim Zito’s men will aim to preserve that flawless defensive away record as they visit a Holy Stars side they drew with on their only previous league trip.
