The Phobians are yet to find their rhythm and have been inconsistent with both their form and performances. Two wins out of seven, back to back away form and seemingly growing tension between fans and coach seem to have dwindled the fortunes of the capital club heading into the game.
Kotoko are joint top and undefeated coming into the capital. The Porcupine Warriors have been rock solid in defence and have only been breached twice in 630 minutes of league soccer.
Eight years without a league defeat in Accra serves as greater motivation heading into the tie with victory possibly propelling them to the top
