Nations FC have a tough away game at Asante Kotoko in their next Ghana Premier League assignment. Placed second, this is a game that could potentially see them go top, if they beat eighth placed Asante Kotoko. Like Nations FC, the hosts’ ambitions are also trained on the title race. They have 32 points, five behind Nations but could rise to fourth with a win here. Such stakes mean this is a crucial game for both sides and Asante Kotoko will want to rise from a poor run. They are coming from three straight defeats, the latest being a 2-1 fall at Aduana Stars. That was their fifth loss in six matches across all competitions, which calls for an improvement. In half of their last six matches as well, Asante Kotoko failed to score. A big part of their success this season came from home matches, but their good home run was checked last time out. After four straight league wins with clean sheets at home, Asante Kotoko fell 3-2 to Accra Lions last time.

Nations FC have 37 points coming into this game. They are two points behind the league leaders but that might have changed by the time they take to the pitch. League leaders Samartex will play earlier against Hearts of Oak. Nations FC made their title ambitions clear with their recent win over Samartex. They would however cede ground with two winless outings. Coming here though, they posted straight wins in their last two matches, the most recent a 1-0 victory over Dreams FC. Their biggest win in recent matches was the 3-0 victory over Berekum Chelsea. That happens to be the only time in five matches that they managed more than a goal. With three clean sheets in five matches, they will feel confident about their defence. Nations FC have actually conceded more than a goal just once in 17 league matches. Nine of their last 10 away league matches have had under 2.5 goals. That has largely been down to the fact they haven't scored much on the road. In seven of 10 away league games, Nations failed to score, and lost the matches.
