Nzema Kotoko will face their arch-rivals Sekondi Eleven Wise in a crucial match on Monday, April 7, 2025, at the Awulae Amihere Kpanyinli III Arena in Ampain. This schedule, part of the Matchday 22 of the Access Bank Division One League, promises to be a highly contested battle as both teams are currently in the relegation zone. The Red Armies were initially scheduled to play on Sunday, April 6, but due to a fixture clash with Basake Holy Stars’ game against Berekum Chelsea at the same venue, the match has been moved to Monday.
Coach Ibrahim Ewura will lead his team into this vital fixture, determined to secure three points and help the team escape the relegation zone. Under his leadership, Nzema Kotoko has had a mixed run of form, winning twice, drawing once, and losing once in their last four games. Their most recent loss came against Pac Academy, where they were defeated 3-1.
Eleven Wise, after securing an important win in their last match against Skyy FC, have moved up to 14th in the league standings, but they remain deep in the relegation battle. This game holds significant importance for both teams as they look to improve their league positions and avoid the threat of relegation.
With both sides desperate for points, the Western Derby is set to be a tough, high-stakes encounter. Nzema Kotoko will be hoping to use home advantage to push for a crucial win in their fight for survival in the Division One League.
