Under pressure Elmina Sharks will face a daunting task in lifting themselves out of the relegation zone when they clash with league leaders, West African Football Academy (WAFA), at Sogakope, Volta Region, in week 20 of the Ghana Premier League (GPL).
The Fearsome Sharks were tamed at home by Accra Hearts of Oak by 2-0 courtesy two quick goals from Kwame Kizito and skipper, Thomas Abbey, in the first half to send the debutants to 14th on the league table with only 10 matches to end the season.
Interim Coach Yaw Acheampong and Deputy Felix Aboagye will have to savour the moment against WAFA who were held 0-0 by Bolga All Stars to convince club owner, Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom, of their ability to transform the fortunes of the club, following the suspension of substantive coach, Kobina Ammisah.
After sending a shocking 2-1 defeat down the spine of Wa All Stars, Kumasi Asante Kotoko will be expected to continue with their rejuvenation against Ebusua Dwarfs at the Cape Coast Stadium this afternoon.
The Porcupine Warriors were dominant against the defending league champions ending their five matches’ winless streak while Ebusua Dwarfs led by the league’s top scorer, Nicholas Gyan, proved too strong for Berekum Chelsea setting up a cagey encounter between the two teams who are burnt on landing a Top 4 place.
Accra Hearts of Oak will return to the Accra Sports Stadium to battle a re-energised AshantiGold side currently led by former Black Stars captain, C. K Akunnor. The Miners heaved a sigh of relief when they trashed Inter Allies 3-0 to move above the relegation after 12 weeks while Phobians seems to have found their rhythm by recording two wins after their 5-0 loss to WAFA.
Aduana Stars will also seek to appease their fans at the Nana Agyeman Badu Stadium in Dormaa Ahenkro when they face off with struggling Great Olympics while Liberty Professionals will host bottom placed Bolga All Stars at the Carl Randolph Park in Dansoman.
The El-Wak Stadium in Accra will come alive when deflated Inter Allies are expected to bounce back to settle scores with defending MTN FA Cup champions, Bechem United whereas Medeama SC will be delighted to welcome Berekum Chelsea at their favoured T&A Park in Tarkwa.
Wa All Stars are also expected to play host to Tema Youth at the Malik Jabir Stadium in Wa.
