Defending champions Hearts Of Oak will be hunting for a win when they welcome Medeama SC to the Accra Sports Stadium today to honour their match day 23 fixture of the Ghana Premier League (GPL).

The Phobians picked a vital point in mid-week against Berekum Chelsea in a 1-1 draw, a result which leaves their title hopes in ‘limbo’ but could also fancy their chances and stage revenge, having lost 1-0 to Medeama in the first leg.

On Suday, League leaders Asante Kotoko will face rivals King Faisal in the Kumasi derby at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium. The Porcupine Warriors were shocked to the marrow with their first 3-2 defeat in the first round.

Gaffer Nurudeen Amadu and his charges are poised to record a double over Kotoko but a more determined and resilient Kotoko can outshine King Faisal.

Relegation-threatened Gold Stars will host Dreams at the Dun’s Park tomorrow. The debutants have been one of the inconsistent side and will hope to improve on their output.

Spirited Legon Cities will lock horns with Ashantigold at the El-Wak Sports on Sunday. Both sides have been in recent fine form and will be eager to continue.

Poor performing West African Soccer Academy (WAFA) will welcome Aduana Stars at the Nana Agyeman Badu I Park tomorrow.

WAFA have managed just a win in their last seven games and a victory could secure them a good spot on the table.

It will be a battle for survival at the Ohene Ameyaw Park when Eleven Wonders take on new boys Accra Lions at the Techiman on Sunday.

At the Aiyinase CAM Park, Karela United will tussle it out with struggling Elmina Sharks.

On Monday, Great Olympics will travel to face Bechem United at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park, whilst struggling Real Tamale United (RTU) square off with Berekum Chelsea to climax the round of games.
