Should Asante Kotoko beat Great Olympics, they will be Premier League champions - Coach 'Opeele’

Published on: 16 April 2021

Former Asante Kotoko coach, Isaac Boateng (popularly known as Coach Opeele) says a win for Great Olympics in their game against Asante Kotoko will see them clinch the Ghana Premier League title.

Both teams have performed incredibly well in the league so far as they occupy the first two spots in the standings after 19 matches played.

Asante Kotoko are top of the table with 34 points,, one point ahead of Great Olympics who dropped to second after the 2-0 loss to Legon Cities.

Coach Annor Walker's side will host the Porcupine Warriors on match day 20 at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday in the top-of-the-table clash.

"I am a bit worried for the rest of the clubs because Asante Kotoko is now sitting on top of the league table and it will be difficult for teams to overtake them," coach Opeele said on the Ultimate Sports Show on Asempa FM.

"Should Asante Kotoko beat Great Olympics on Friday, they will be Ghana Premier League champions. Prior to the start of the season, Kotoko was not in the picture to win the league but they are now in and sitting on top and for me, you don’t see any team rocking shoulders with them."

"I think Great Olympics will need the support of the rest of the teams in Accra to be able to beat Asante Kotoko.

He added, "I am imploring Liberty Professionals, Inter Allies, Hearts of Oak and the rest to support Olympics because it will be pathetic for Kotoko to travel from Tarkwa and come to Accra to beat Great Olympics. When it happens, Kotoko will be crowned league champions."

"I know they have a match against Hearts of Oak and Aduana Stars and other club but when Kotoko extend their lead to seven points, it is over."
