Match Preview- Asante Kotoko vs King Faisal, Team News, Predicted Lineups & TV Coverage MTN FA Cup Round of 64

King Faisal will play regional rivals Asante Kotoko for the second time this season in a herculean MTN FA Cup round of 64 tie at the Baba Yara Stadium.

The two sides have already squared off against each other this season, a game King Faisal won by 2-3 over the giants.

Youngster Zubairu Ibrahim after exhibiting that man of the match performance with his hat-trick will look to replicate the same performance at the expense of the Kumasi fans today.

The ‘Insha Allah’ outfit slipped to a painful defeat against Berekum Chelsea over the weekend but are still maintaining their top spot on the log after ten matches due to a better head to head.

Richmond Lamptey’s lone goal propelled the Porcupine Warriors to a narrow triumph over WAFA to tie up the points at the summit of the standing.

Kotoko’s victory against Wafa moved them to a second place on the Ghana Premier League log.

King Faisal having suffered a first round elimination in the league cup last season will this time want to exceed that performance whiles Kotoko will also set sights on surpassing the quarter final hurdle, their last point in the last edition.
