Under new Scottish coach Frank Nuttal, the Phobians are eyeing three points at the expense of Medeama at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday following a scoreless draw with Inter Allies in week one.

Having lost 1-0 to Medeama in week one, Wafa will seek to make amends in Sunday’s welcome of league leaders Ebusua Dwarfs to the Sogakope Park. The latter beat Bolga All Stars 3-1 to jump to the top of the table.
Newly-promoted Elmina Sharks are set for their debut on Sunday in a home tie against Aduana Stars at the Nduom Sports Stadium. Sharks saw their matchday one fixture against Wa All Stars postponed due to the latter’s involvement in the Caf Champions League.
At the Carl Reindorf Park in Dansoman, Liberty Professionals, who have renowned coach Sellas Tetteh back with the team, are tipped for three points in their clash with Inter Allies.
But earlier on Saturday, Accra Great Olympics will play away to 2014-15 champions Ashanti Gold at the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium.
Defending champion Wa All Stars and FA Cup champions Bechem United will not be involved this weekend due to continental assignments. The former face Libyan side Al-Ahli Tripoli in the Caf Champions League on Sunday, a day after the latter play Algerian outfit MC Alger.
