Asante Kotoko coach, Prosper Narteh Ogum, has declared his outfit's readiness for the crucial game against Hearts of Oak in the Ghana Premier League.

The two most glamorous clubs in Ghana will lock horns at the Baba Yara Stadium on 'matchday 13' of the domestic top flight on Sunday, December 14, 2024.

Despite the team’s slump in recent matches, where they have managed only one victory in their last six league fixtures, Ogum believes his men are mentally, tactically, and physically prepared for the crucial encounter against their arch-rivals.

“I think the mentality at training with the boys, technical staff, and everybody is very positive. We are very poised. Tactically, we are approaching the game based on how we have seen them play, especially in their away games.

"So what I want to tell you is we are very hopeful as a technical staff, as a playing body. The players are prepared physically, tactically, and psychologically; they are prepared for the game on Sunday,” he stated.

Asante Kotoko is currently seventh on the Premier League standings with 18 points, while Hearts of Oak sits in sixth spot with 19 points after 12 matches into the campaign.
