The Round of 16 matches of the MTN FA Cup promise thrilling encounters this weekend, as top-flight heavyweights and ambitious challengers battle for a place in the quarter-finals.

Defending champions Asante Kotoko will host Aduana FC at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday in what is expected to be a keenly contested fixture. The two sides played out a 1-1 draw in their most recent Premier League meeting, setting the stage for another closely fought encounter.

Kotoko will rely on their rich FA Cup pedigree and home advantage to edge past Aduana, but the visitors, currently third on the Premier League table, are expected to put up a strong challenge.

The Porcupine Warriors have endured a difficult run of form, recording two wins in their last six matches. They thrashed Bechem United 6-1, but suffered defeat to Swedru All Blacks and dropped points against Berekum Chelsea, Bibiani Gold Stars and Heart of Lions, with the other victory coming against Basake Holy Stars at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
