Both of their victories this season have come at home, and they will be eager to regain form after a late penalty defeat last weekend.

The side is also navigating a period of transition following the departure of head coach Eric Tinkler with Hamza Obeng and others incharge of the technical duties.

The midfield battle between Richard Boadu and Samuel Adamu would be a keen contention to watch this afternoon.

Young Apostles arrive 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 a Samuel Prempeh penalty.

The visitors have struggled for consistency and goals this season (only 3 scored in 6 games) and have a poor away record.

The head-to-head favours the home team ,winning two and drawing two of their last four encounters.

Young Apostles would have to play above their weight levels should they want to change the narrative against Kotoko.

Prediction: Kotoko 2-1 Young Apostles
