Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah believes Asante Kotoko’s clash with \nAshantigold in the JAK Cup will be a good test for the Reds ahead of \ntheir CAF CC play-offs game against Coton Sports. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The regional rivals will compete for the coveted J.A Kuffuor Cup, in honour of the ex-President’s 80th birthday celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Kwesi Appiah, who is an ambassador of the JAK Cup says the game \nwill offer the Porcupine Warriors the needed test for their \nConfederations Cup match against Coton Sports de Garoua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a good test for Krobea Asante Kotoko as they prepare towards\n the Coton Sport game. Had it been against a lower side it would have \nbeen a different game altogether. AshantiGold will give Kotoko a good \ngame on Sunday\u201d, he told Kumasi-based  Angel FM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked whether Kotoko coach, Charles Kwablah Akonnor, should \nparade his top squad for the Sunday\u2019s encounter, he said, \u201cparading your\n stars for the game is a decision for the coach as Kotoko will have \nanother week before the Coton Sport game, so I believe both sides will \nparade their best squad to entertain the fans. I pray for an injury-free\n game for both sides\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asante Kotoko will travel for the first leg in Cameroon before hosting the Elite One champions a week later in Kumasi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
