Young Apostles come in 15th or 16th place with 6 points. They ended a three-match losing streak with a hard-fought 1-0 home win over Aduana FC last Sunday thanks to Samuel Prempeh’s penalty.
The visitors have struggled for consistency and goals this season (scoring just 3 goals in 6 games) and have had a poor record away from home.
Head-to-head, the home team favors the home team, winning two and drawing two of the last four matches.
Young Apostles will have to play above their weight class if they want to change the narrative against Kotoko.
Prediction: Kotoko 2-1 Young Apostles
