Rejuvenated Aduana Stars will host Kumasi Asante Kotoko in a Match-Day Six fixture of the 2015/16 Ghana Premier League (GPL) on Sunday.
Having started abysmally-recording three consecutive defeats, Aduana Stars seem to be on the right track after recording a win and a draw against West Africa Football Academy (WAFA) and AshantiGold respectively.
Asante Kotoko on the other hand is dominating the headlines for two reasons: horrendous performance on the pitch and internal politics.
The Porcupine Warriors have recorded only one win in five games and axes are flying over the heads of people in leadership positions.
The teams preparation towards the game in Dormaa is headlined by bonus rows. The club met on Thursday to trash out the issue and all roads leading to Dormaa seems to be clear before the eyes.
However, focus of the team must be on the game to avoid another disastrous performance to flame more issues.
A point separates both sides, occupying the 11th and 14th positions on the league log after five league matches.
Key Stats
Aduana Stars have never lost a home game against Asante Kotoko since making their debut in the domestic top flight league in the 2009/10 Ghana Premier League season.
However, Kotoko have beaten Aduana Stars consistently recently, winning three of their last five meetings in all competitions.
