Asante Kotoko will look to recover from last weekend’s defeat when they host Bibiani Goldstars in a Matchweek 11 Ghana Premier League fixture at Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday.
The Porcupine Warriors were beaten 2-1 by Berekum Chelsea in their previous match, leaving Hamza Obeng’s team with three wins, four draws and three defeats from 10 league games.
That record has placed Asante Kotoko 10th in the table on 13 points, with the Kum-Apem side now aiming to use home advantage to move up the standings.
Bibiani Goldstars arrive in Kumasi two points behind their opponents. The Miners have collected 11 points from 10 matches and sit 12th after recording three wins, two draws and five defeats.
Greek coach Petros Koukouras will be hoping his side can frustrate Asante Kotoko and return from the Baba Yara Sports Stadium with a positive result.
Match preview
Asante Kotoko’s campaign has been inconsistent, and Obeng will demand a stronger performance as his players attempt to end a run of disappointing results and improve their league position.
The home side will be particularly keen to respond to the loss at Berekum Chelsea. Playing in front of their own supporters gives them an opportunity to return to winning ways, but they will need to be more effective in attack.
Goldstars have also found results difficult to secure this season. Koukouras will look for a disciplined display from his players, who are expected to rely on counter-attacking opportunities to threaten their hosts.
With only two points separating the teams, the fixture is expected to be closely contested. Asante Kotoko are likely to seek control of possession, while Goldstars could look to exploit spaces when they break forward.
Kotoko’s home advantage may be significant, although they will need to take their chances. Goldstars have enough quality to make the match difficult, but the hosts will believe they can claim all three points.
Team news and possible line-ups
Neither team has any major injury or suspension concerns, with both coaches expected to have their key players available for selection.
Asante Kotoko possible starting line-up: Aziz Dari Haruna (GK), Abu Adams (DF), Patrick Asiedu (DF), Joseph Amoah (DF), Musah Hamzata (DF), Lawson Kyei Manu (MF), Richard Boadu (MF), Lord Hilary Adabo (MF), Isaac Opoku Agyemang (FW), Emmanuel Mamah (FW), Inusah Adams (FW).

Prediction and match details
Asante Kotoko are tipped to win 2-1, with Isaac Opoku Agyemang expected to score first before Emmanuel Mamah adds a second for the Kum-Apem side.
Evans Adomako could reduce the deficit for Bibiani Goldstars, but the Porcupine Warriors are expected to hold on for a narrow victory.
The match will be played at Baba Yara Sports Stadium, with kick-off at 4:00pm on Sunday, November 15, 2026.
