Nations vs Asante Kotoko Predictions

Both sides to score

Nations FC have shown good home form. They are yet to lose any game at home. The newly promoted side won one and drew the other.

Against Asante Kotoko, they will need to up their game against a side that s resilient in defending. The sixth-placed, two-time CAF Champions League winners are looking for their third win of the season.

Asante Kotoko has scored in every game they have played this season.

Expect both sides to score.

The game to end in a draw

Asante has not scored more than one goal in any of the GPL games they’ve played this term. The Porcupines are expected to score, but can they keep Nations FC strikers at bay?

They have one away win in two, losing 2 – 1 to Bibiani Gold Stars. With Nations FC still finding their feet in the GPL, Kotoko could take advantage to secure a win.

However, Nations FC has a mean defence and has not let in more than one goal per game this season.

Under 2.5

Though they have not scored more than a goal this season, Asante Kotoko could be pushed to score more than once to get three points.

However, it is a tall ask of the two-time Champions League winners. Can they score more than once this season? It is a big question begging for answers.

The Nations vs Asante Kotoko tie looks like a low-scoring affair.
