After Wednesday’s defeat at Baba Yara Stadium, the Warriors returned to Adako Jachie Training Grounds on Thursday afternoon to conduct their recovery session and prepare for this weekend’s game.
The recovery session was followed up by a series of training sessions before the trip to Dormaa for Sunday’s match.
Dr. Prosper Narteh aims to bounce back from the recent setbacks in today's top-four clash. With two drawn games and finally breaking the Dormaa jinx [2-0 win] in our last three Ghana Premier League visits, the technical team and the playing body will be aiming to keep that record going and get the maximum points.
Aduana, despite losing their last game to Berekum Chelsea, maintained their position on the league log with 34 points. Out of their 34 points, they have managed to pick up 27 points at their home grounds.
We go into tomorrow’s game with 32 points—just a point difference between us and Aduana.
After suffering back-to-back defeats at Nalerigu against Karela and against Accra Lions last Wednesday at home, our Warriors will be aiming to get back to winning ways today.
Although the home side has won 9 times in Dormaa this season from 11 games, Asante Kotoko, on the other hand, has also been the best traveller, amassing the most points on the road.
