Solomon Ayikabia backs Swedru All Blacks to upset Kotoko in survival battle
Swedru All Blacks forward Solomon Ayikabia believes his side has what it takes to secure a crucial result against Asante Kotoko as the club fights to preserve its Ghana Premier League status.
The final-day showdown has become one of the biggest fixtures of the weekend, with All Blacks needing a positive outcome to avoid relegation from the top flight.
Despite the pressure surrounding the encounter, Ayikabia says confidence remains high within the squad ahead of the trip to face the Porcupine Warriors.
The attacker acknowledged the size of the challenge but stressed that the team is prepared to rise to the moment when it matters most.
“With the players available, we believe we can beat Asante Kotoko on Sunday,” he said.
“Yes, it’s a big game, but big games are where big players step up, and we need to make the people of Swedru happy.”
Swedru All Blacks head into the decisive contest knowing anything short of a strong performance could see their Premier League campaign end in disappointment.
Kotoko, meanwhile, are also targeting victory as they seek to finish a difficult season on a positive note in front of their supporters.
With survival hanging in the balance, Sunday’s encounter is expected to deliver a tense and highly competitive battle as both sides chase an important result in the final round of the campaign.
