“We are expecting a good game because we’ve picked our momentum now. With the form we have now, I think we shall win the match;” said Steven Mukwala.
Steven Mukwala has been heavily involved in Kotoko’s consistent performance in their last three games scoring in all three for the “Porcupine Worries” including the lone goal that granted Kotoko all three points over Berekum Chelsea on Monday, December 5, 2023.
Asante Kotoko find themselves at 7th position on the league standings with 19 points, while Hearts of Oak sits below them at the 8th position with 16 points.
Due to closure of the Accra Sports stadium to sporting activities this December, Accra Hearts of Oak will be playing home at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi.
