Real Tamale United have won four points in their last two meetings in the Premier League with Asante Kotoko grabbing just a point from a possible six. The pride of the North are currently 12th in the League log with eighth points while the Champions occupy the 3rd spot with 14 points - with only two points separating them.
Real Tamale United boosted have been boosted by the return of Coach Baba Nuhu from Germany – where he went on a four-week attachment with Bundesliga side TSG Hoffenheim.
They will heavily rely on the qualities of David Abagna Sandan, Manaf Umar, Roland Frimpong and Yaw Osei – following their consistent displays in the last two seasons. Asante Kotoko will also depend on in-form Nicholas Mensah who has scored three goals for the club, Steven Mukwala, Enoch Morison and Augustine Agyapong to force a win at the Ali Mahama stadium.
The Porcupine Warriors dropped valuable points in midweek after throwing away an early lead to draw 1-1 with Legon Cities at home and a win in Tamale will cushion them in their title aspirations.
The game which is scheduled for 7pm kick off will be shown live on StarTimes Adepa channel 247.
