GPL Preview: Asante Kotoko vs Bechem United
Asante Kotoko will be looking to extend their unbeaten run and solidify their position at the top of the Ghana Premier League table when they welcome Bechem United to the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday, April 14, in a highly anticipated Matchday 27 encounter.
The Porcupine Warriors have found their rhythm in recent weeks, stringing together crucial wins that have seen them surge to the summit of the league standings.
Their home form has been particularly impressive, boasting 10 wins, one draw, and just two losses at the Baba Yara Stadium this season.
Bechem United, on the other hand, have experienced a dip in consistency. Although they were awarded three points due to Nsoatreman FC’s league withdrawal, their performances on the pitch have left room for improvement, having failed to win either of their last two played fixtures.
Now 8th on the table with 42 points—seven behind Kotoko—Bechem will need to raise their game significantly to challenge the league leaders in Kumasi.
Head-to-head, Bechem United hold a slight advantage in recent meetings. In their last six encounters since March 2022, Bechem have won twice, while Kotoko have only managed one victory, with the other three matches ending in stalemates. Notably, Bechem edged the reverse fixture 1-0 in November 2024.
Sunday’s match presents a golden opportunity for Kotoko to consolidate their title credentials with a win at home, while Bechem United will hope to stage an upset and keep their hopes of a top-four finish alive.
Kickoff is at 3:00 PM GMT.
