This week they host Kotoko in one of the highly anticipated games in the league. They are unbeaten in their last five games (2W 3D), a stat they would want to better this weekend at Samreboi.
Kotoko are still reeling from the pain of losing their beloved supporter, Nana Pooley as disclosed by their head coach Prosper Ogun Narteh. They will use every opportunity at their disposal to honor their dearly departed by winning the 2024/2025 Ghana Premier League for him but it won’t come cheap.
The Porcupine Warriors have racked as many as 12 points from 9 games which makes them tough customers playing away from home.
