Former Asante Kotoko captain, Amos Frimpong
Former Asante Kotoko captain, Amos Frimpong, has cautioned his former side not to underrate Hearts of Oak ahead of the big encounter on Sunday.
The two biggest clubs in the country have been underperforming in the ongoing 2023/24 Ghana Premier League campaign, with both sides currently sitting outside of the top four.
"Any of the teams can be relegated, and because of the bragging rights, they will give their all on the day," he told Takoradi-based Connect FM. "The players will come into the game with determination."
Despite Asante Kotoko being the better side this season, Frimpong has advised his former team not to become over-complacent in the game and to maintain composure in front of the goal.
"Games involving the two sides are always difficult, but this time, Kotoko looks like the favorite based on their performance in the last three games compared to Hearts of Oak.
"They need to keep their composure in front of the goal. I have watched them, and they create a lot of opportunities, but with better composure, they would have scored more.
"When most people expect Kotoko to beat Hearts of Oak in Kumasi, that is when the latter shows up and delivers," he added.
The much-anticipated game is scheduled to kick off at 15:00 GMT at the Baba Yara Stadium."
