The Aduana boys are having a patchy run, failing to pick up a single point in their four away games. A win against Kotoko could power them to a top -our spot.

However, the Accra Stadium will this afternoon sparkle up with fifth-placed Great Olympics looking to end the unbeaten run of league leaders Karela United. A though contest it will be for the ‘Dade’ boys under new gaffer Yaw Preko, who have enjoyed some series of good runs with a recent comfortable 2-0 win against rivals Inter Allies.

The Anyinase-based side would have to defy all odds to maintain their top spot after that emphatic (4-1) victory over Berekum Chelsea last weekend. The tactical brilliance of Evans Adotey and Yaw Preko will be on display this afternoon.

Having picked one defeat in nine games, the Hunters will aim to progress with their fine form against a very slippery Sharks who appear to be a difficult side to beat at the Nduom Park.

Not an impressive side with two wins in nine games, Berekum Chelsea will be at the Golden City Park as hosts to fourth-placed Hearts today. The high flying Phobians will be seeking to continue their good run after picking up three wins and one draw in their last four games. However, Hearts will miss the services of talisman Manaf Umar due to suspension, but gaffer Kosta Papic would be much elated with the return of forward Kojo Obeng Junior as Manaf’s replacement.
