Asante Kotoko will seek to protect the things they value most when they host Academy side WAFA sc in Obuasi on a day their arch rivals have out jumped them to the top of the table.

Kotoko’s quest to remain on top of the table for another week is severely under threat especially when they are losing that to their rivals.

The pressure will obviously be on the 11 men on the field of play considering Coach Mariano Barreto’s decision to leave out number 1 Goalkeeper Razak Abalora.

For WAFA’s Academy boys, its a day to go ‘minning the illegal’ way as was seen in Berekum and Tarkwa, the Boys from Sogakope know no bounds as they enjoy winning on the road in recent games.

Justus Torsutsey is enjoying a fine run of form, scoring 3 out of 4 matches, while Enoch Asubonteng has been the revelation of the second round for the WAFA side.

Kotoko have no surprises, except for the returning Felix Annan who is expected to grab his Captain’s armband and march his men to the len Clay Stadium to face his former side

To stop WAFA from their trip, Mariano Barreto must put the breaks on 3 key players, Godwin Agbevor, Augustine Boakye and Lawrence Agyekum, that may still not be enough as Abdul Basit Issah and Justus Torsutsey may also give them problems.

This means Habib Mohammed will have to double up in his defensive duties, sitting deep, and only allowing MUDASIRU Salifu to work with the front men.

With fresh contract on his table, Emmanuel Gyamfi will be expected to deliver the kind of performance that convinced the management to offer him further deal, his 3 goals have been crucial for the red army this season, especially the 2 goals that subdued Ebusua Dwarfs.

However Asante Kotoko appear on the field on Saturday, they must set their vigilantism wide awake, as WAFA is capable of picking all 3 points unannounced.
