Nkana FC vs Asante Kotoko: TV channel, live broadcast, team news and overview

Asante Kotoko will play her second away game in the group stage of the Caf Confederation Cup against Zambia's Nkana FC on Sunday.

Both teams boast three points, as each of the two other members of the group C. Kotoko defeated Nkana's national rivals Zesco United 2-1, while Nkana beat Al Hilal 1-0.

The porcupine warriors occupy the third place in the group, ahead of Nkana who sits down.

Kotoko's coach, Akonnor, hopes to get a shock at the meeting on the outside. He believes that a draw would also be satisfactory, but the organizers hope to win two victories and will not want to lose their advantage at home.

The game will be broadcast live on television on GBC in Ghana. You can also see the live updates on Goal.com.

According to reports, Nkana is expected to welcome again striker Ronald Kampamba, who has been allowed to face Kotoko after a while in the treatment room.

Nkana possible from XI: Chibwe, Nyondo, Ramadhani, Zulu, Otieno, Malambo, Mulenda, Ngulube, Bwalya, Kampamba, Mbewe.

Richard Senanu is not a candidate for a spot in Sunday's game but central defensive duo Abdul Ganiyu and Emmanuel Agyemang Badu are back from their wounds.

Experienced midfielder Jordan Opoku, who had been forgotten for Kotoko's last four games, was part of the rookie group for Zambia, as was Martin Antwi, who missed out on Zesco.

Kotoko possible from XI: Annan, Frimpong (c), Sefah, Agyemang-Badu, Ganiyu, Bonsu, Gyamfi, Ganiyu, Yacouba, Safiu, Baakoh

Match preview

The four teams in Group C admitted that feats are needed to move to the next stage of the competition. To succeed only at home might not be enough and that is what Kotoko thinks before Sunday's match. The Porcupine Warriors beat Coton Sport in Cameroon earlier in the campaign, but have also lost on the road ever since.

They come against Nkana, a high-level team after defeating Al Hilal at Kitwe Stadium where they will host the Ghanaian side. Zambians hope to add Kotoko to their list of victims and improve their position within the group. Expect a ruthless push to the other end of the field at the whistle. Visitors would be cornered and besieged with intensity.

However, this would appeal to Kotoko's character and experience. If they could resist and put the hosts in doubt, they could handle the game and win something positive.

As Kotoko coach Akonnor said, Nkana's test would not only help to judge the improvement of his accusations, but also of himself as a blunderer. He could get talking about him by Sunday night when he returns triumphantly.
