Medeama SC will face Asante Kotoko in their outstanding Premier League match on Sunday at Akoon Park in Tarkwa.

The game was rescheduled due to Asante Kotoko’s participation in the Total CAF Champions League. This game will give both teams a chance to correct mistakes, as both sides aim to get their season back on track.

Medeama has won just once in the current campaign (1-0) win against Ebusua Dwarfs on Cape Coast and many believe that the absence of Prince Opoku Agyemang and Nana Kwasi Babil is the reason for the club’s dismal display so far.

The two players who now practice their trade in South Africa and Austria respectively, combined to score sixteen goals for the Mauves and Yellows in the canceled 2019/2020 season.

Medeama SC started the season with a draw at home to the Accra Olympics (1-1) and lost (2-1) to Dreams FC in their first two outings. They struggled to find the back of the net at a standstill (0-0) against Legon Cities. But he managed to beat Ebusua Dwarfs 1-0 before losing points to Liberty Professionals in a draw (0-0) at home.

Coach Samuel Boadu needs to find the right balance on Sunday against Asante Kotoko. They look solid at the rear with goalkeeper Eric Ofori Antwi always on top of his game.

Daniel Egyin, Samuel Appiah, Ibrahim Yaro and Ali Ouatarra have established themselves over the years as mainstays at the rear and their effective combination with Judge Blay, Eric Kwakwa and Akwasi Donsu in midfield is always refreshing. Blay, arguably the best player of last season, will play his former team after a botched move against the Porcupine Warriors.

In attack, the only experienced player is Agyenim Boateng, a striker who has yet to shine in the League, scoring only once. But they have creativity in Kwadwo Asamoah, a man who lit up the competition last season during his spell with Techiman Eleven Wonders. Aside from their struggles, Medeama SC have yet to win a home game this season after two attempts.

For Asante Kotoko, it will be a good time to solve her problems. They head into the game five days after losing a zero to Sudanese giant Al Hilal in the Total CAF Champions League.

The Porcupine Warriors have recorded just one win in their last three games, losing two and winning one. Stop gap Coach Johnson Smith scored a win in Dawu against Dreams FC, but Al Hilal rallied over them on Wednesday.

Their leading striker, Kwame Poku, has gone four games without scoring and that would be a major concern for the technical team.

Osman Ibrahim, who gave them the winner against Legon Cities, has not shown consistency this season. Patrick Asmah and Moro Ibrahim give them options on left back with Habib Mohammed, Yusif Mubarik, Ismael Ganiu and Wahab Adams vying for places in central defense.

Kotoko has lost midfielders Emmanuel Keyekeh and Mudasiru Salifu to injuries. But Latif Anabila, Kwame Adom Frimpong, Muniru Sulley, and Godfred Asiamah have quietly adapted to them.

Last season, Prince Opoku Agyemang scored to give Medeama SC a 1-0 win against Asante Kotoko at Akoon Park.
