Kotoko not underdogs – Nti

The General Manager of Kumasi Asante Kotoko, Samuel Opoku Nti insist the Porcupine Warriors, will not be a walkover when they play Hearts of Oak on Monday.

Hearts of Oak, have had a blistering start to the 2015-16 Ghana premier league (GPL),while his outfit have been struggling.

But Opoku Nti believes the Porcupine Warriors have what it takes to silence Hearts at their home grounds, noting that Kotoko would emerge winners if they take their chances.

‘’We played well against New Edubiase, the fact that we lost doesn’t mean we didn’t play well. I think we didn’t take our chances. Kotoko and Hearts matches anything can happen. I don’t think Hearts are favourites. Hearts are not favourites, I won’t buy it,’’ he said on Luv FM

He called on the supporters to rally behind the team.

‘’They should remember the team in their prayers and keep their fingers cross, we believe that at the end of the day we will come out with flying colours after 90 minutes.’’

Kotoko have secured two victories against Hearts at the Accra Sports Stadium since 2009, with the rest ending in draws.

Last season, they recorded a 2-1 victory over Hearts Of Oak.
