GPL: Elmina Sharks beat lackluster Asante Kotoko
Kumasi Asante Kotoko lost their first game on the road this season in the Ghana Premier League against struggling Elmina Sharks at the Paa Kwasi Nduom Stadium. The porcupine warriors who have been stricken by injury worries rang changes to their squad as Wahab Adams and Mudasiru Salifu were handed starts. The game started brightly as both teams had chances to have opened the scores of the game but they wasted the opportunities that came their way. Kwame Opoku shot goalwards after beating the Sharks goalkeeper but his goal bound effort was cleared off the line by his defense. Elmina Sharks had all the chances but wasted them and had about three penalty appeals waved away by the center referee. When the second half began, they made their dominance count as Alhaji Mustapha ghosted past left back Imoro Ibrahim before slotting home in the 55th minute to open the scores. Kotoko pressed for the elusive equalizer which never arrived as they wasted opportunities which came their way. It was the first game for former Ghana and Kotoko player Nii Odartey Lamptey who was appointed interim coach of the club last week after Sharks dissolved their technical team.

Prediction: Chelsea and Manchester United match prediction
After sharing the spoils with Southampton, Chelsea will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they host Manchester United at their Stamford Bridge. The Blues have been producing fine showings ever since Thomas Tuchel took over the reins, and, no doubt, they are capable of securing a top-four finish.

Defender Thiago Silva should be the only absentee in the home team. Man Utd, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in a 3-1 win over Newcastle United. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s troops aim to keep their title hopes alive, but beating Chelsea in London is easier said than done.

Prediction: Leicester City and Arsenal match prediction
All eyes will be on King Power Stadium when Leicester City and Arsenal take on each other in the Premier League round 26. The Foxes are enjoying yet another season to remember, with the team sitting in the third position in the standings. Brendan Rodgers’ men are on the right track to book their place in the Champions League, but they need to keep on impressing if they are to secure a top-four finish. Justin, Fofana, Perez, Praet, and Morgan remain sidelined with injuries, while Maddison should be fit to face Arsenal. The Gunners, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Man City. Arsenal have been producing fine displays in 2021, and seeing that Aubameyang has found his goalscoring touch of late, both teams to score betting option should be considered.

Prediction: Crystal Palace and Fulham match prediction
Selhurst Park will host Sunday’s London derby between Crystal Palace and Fulham, the two teams who defeated Brighton and Sheffield United respectively at the weekend. The Cottagers did well to keep their survival hopes alive, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to avoid relegation to the Championship. Fulham are desperate to climb to the safe zone in the Premier League standings, and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against their local rivals. Ademola Lookman, who scored the winner at the weekend, will be the man to watch in the away team. The Eagles, on the other hand, are stuck in the middle of the table, meaning that they have little to play for in the season finale. The visitors want this win more than the hosts, who will be without key player Wilfried Zaha in the London derby.

Parma should be weary of Emmanuel Gyasi threat ahead of Spezia clash
Italian sports columnist Marco Bernardini has advised Parma ahead of their trip to Spezia in the serie A on Saturday. Emmanuel Gyasi has been one of the top performers for Spezia in their debut campaign, producing splendid displays in bug games. Ahead of the visit of Parma, Sports analyst Bernadini reveals the Ghanaian is the player Parma should be weary of. “I really liked Spezia against Milan and not only that, the Italian gave a very specific game identity regardless of who goes on the pitch,” Bernadini told “Penna in Away “, a column in Calciospezi.it. “Notoriously Parma suffers a little from the quick attackers so beyond the probable return of Nzola I believe that Agudelo and Gyasi can create some headaches and we will need to find the right countermeasures to the dynamism of the midfielders, certainly more than what was done in the last day at the Tardini with De Paul left completely free to invent in the final game,” he added. Gyasi has netted two goals and provided four assists in 23 serie A games. Ghana soccernet Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.
