It’s an all or nothing scenario for Bechem United as they welcome Asante Kotoko to the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park in Saturday for a Ghana Premier League fixture.
The Match Week 33 game offers an opportunity for Bechem United to claim maximum points against their opponents to help their league survival chances.
The Hunters come into the game on the back of a hunting expedition in Accra last week which fetched them a point against Legon Cities.
The 1-1 draw took Bechem to 39 points, lying 12th on the table. A win for them will take their tally to 42 points, a mark seen as enough to secure safety with only one game remaining after the weekend’s round of games.
Asante Kotoko have not been up to the standard in recent games after losing painfully to bitterest rivals Hearts Of Oak. They have mentally looked unfit for purpose as they could only draw against lowly King Faisal in their last league game.
They also unimpressively brushed aside lower tier side Asokwa Deportivo in a game the latter dominated from scratch.
Their recent form has been worrying and does little to inspire hope in fans. They can still win the league, though they don’t have their future in their hands.
Winning all their remaining games won’t be enough as they will need Hearts to drop points in their remaining two games, something that looks quite unlikely.
Bechem United have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 5 league matches. At home, they have won two and drawn 2 of their last 5 games.
Asante Kotoko have won 3 and drawn 1 of their last 5 Premier League Matches. On the road, they have lost just once, winning twice and drawing the other 2.
