Asamoah Gyan will be in the thick of events as Legon Cities take on Kumasi Asante Kotoko on Friday evening at the Accra Sports Stadium as both sides seek their first win of the 2020-2021 Ghana Premier League.

In the four four games that the Royals have played already in the league, they have drawn three and lost one.

Asante Kotoko on the other hand have drawn their two games and they have two outstanding league games due to their engagement in continental football.

In the 2020-2021 truncated league Porcupine Warriors managed to beat Legon Cities 1-3 on matchday three of the Ghana Premier League.

However, Legon Cities have been handed a major boost due to the presence of Asamoah Gyan who is now the poster boy of the team.

The Kumasi giants rallied to beat the Royals 1-3 in a game which produced much thrills last season at the Accra Sports Stadium

Legon Cities, formerly called Wa All Stars have done battle with Asante Kotoko 20 times. The 23 times champions of Ghana have won 11, lost four and drawn five against the Legon based side.

Asante Kotoko in eight home league games have won three drawn four and lost one since last season.

While Legon Cities are yet to win an away league game since last season, having drawn five and lost four.

Legon Cities problem this season is goal scoring. They have netted just a goal and it was from the spot kick, so they will be counting on Ghana’s all-time top scorer Asamoah Gyan in their quest to rediscover their goal scoring form

Head to head doesn't include league games played in 2018 and 2019-2020 because the season was truncated.
