BEREKUM CHELSEA vs WAFA
Berekum Chelsea’s unbeaten home record this season meets another test as they play WAFA in this match day 22 fixture. They have not looked out of steam when they play at home and will surely give WAFA a tough contest. In their previous game against Liberty Professionals which they lost, they are seeking to bounce back and maintain a steady form, after runs of unstable performances in the past match weeks. A win could send them to 30points and possibly occupy the 9th spot.
WAFA has been poor in their away fixtures, winning just one so far in the season. This match against Chelsea is a tough one since some of the best teams in the league have been walloped by the home side. WAFA have not been their best with records from their past 10 games, showing just 3 wins. A win in this fixture can send them to 5th on the table but if the record of the venue is anything to go by, then WAFA might need to shelve their chances of moving up the table, at least for now.

ELEVEN WONDERS vs ADUANA STARS
Things do not look promising for Eleven Wonders as they are in a battle to secure their League status this season. After two consecutive defeats, they are comfortably seated in the relegation zone. With 2 losses, 2 draws and just a single victory to boast of in their last 5 matches, Eleven Wonders must take the bull by its horns and turn their season around. Next up for them is a tie against Aduana Stars who will be looking to break into the Top 4 with a victory.
Aduana Stars returned to winning ways after defeating Elmina Sharks 2-1 at home. Bechem United have given them a bitter pill to swallow in Game week 21 after defeating them 4 -0. Travelling to face Eleven Wonders in their next Encounter in the League, they will be looking to put pressure on the teams currently battling for places in the Top 4. Just 4 point separate them from a 4th place finish. They can set their eyes on this dream by producing an impressive result in Match Day 22.

LEGON CITIES vs KOTOKO
This Game week’s crunch encounter looks set to take place in Accra as Legon Cities host Kumasi Asante Kotoko. Legon Cities have recorded just one victory in their last 5 games, and they lock horns with the wounded Porcupine Warriors who were stunned at home by Medeama in their last game week. Things do not look bright for them.
Asanta Kotoko will be looking to bounce back from their shock defeat against Medeama as they are heavily involved in the title race this season. With the games coming in thick and fast, Kotoko will be looking to return to winning ways by returning to Kumasi with a positive result. Mariano Barreto tasted his first defeat as Kotoko Head Coach against Medeama and will be determined to ensure that the loss is quickly forgotten by the fans.

GREAT OLYMPICS vs LIBERTY PROFESSIONLS
Great Olympics takes on Liberty in another regional derby. This might not be the usual fierce derbies like the others but promises to be an exciting and a pulsating one. Olympics’ great form exhibited at the start of the season seems to dwindle down as recent results have not been encouraging. The ‘Dade’ Boys will look to rise from their humiliating defeat at the hands of Ebusua Dwarfs in game week 21. Olympics will have to bring their A game on Sunday or risk losing all 3 points.
The Scientific soccer lads will be oozing with so much confidence after some great results in their past 3 games. Having beaten Olympics earlier in the season, Liberty will look to repeat such feat even though Olympics has a better head-to-head advantage over their rivals. Liberty are 2 points away from the relegation zone and a win will put some daylight between them and the bottom teams.

DREAMS FC vs HEARTS OF OAK
The believers, as they are known, have a tough test at home this Sunday. A visit from Accra Hearts of Oak earlier on in the year would have been most welcome by the Dawu side as their form was blistering in January and February. Contrasted with their last five games, only a win against Karela has soothed their fans, with two defeats and two draws along the way. The loss of Joseph Esso has been on the mind of the technical team and with the displays he put in, replacing him wil be a tough task. Percious Boah has been charged with the task of spearheading the attack. This will take time to yield any dividends.
Hearts of Oak are coming back from a spirited performance from Ainyinase, where they plucked a draw from an almost hopeless situation. Coach Boadu’s charges are determined to ascend to the top of the table sooner than later. Patrick Razak, who has bettered his performances in the past few weeks is on record to have said that he is eyeing a spot amongst the goal-king hopefuls, despite his return of four goals. Votor Aidoo and Obeng Jnr also understand the enormity of the responsibility of donning the rainbow colours and will be called upon to provide some positive results for the phobians.

KING FAISAL vs KARELA
King Faisal hangs onto straw, in their quest to avoid relegation as they host an unstable Karela United side. The future indeed looks bleak for Alhaji Grunsah’s team as they are rooted in the relegation zone of the table. Although a win in this fixture can temporarily lift them out of the “red” zone, they need a much more spirited fight to be able to avoid the drop. With only 2 wins in their last eight games, survival indeed looks like an impossible task for the team.
Karela United have been unstable in recent times as they have won just one match from their last five. They currently occupy the 5th position after enjoying the top spot for many weeks. A win in this fixture can send them back to the top once again. However, Karela has a poor away record with just one win and four draws. In their last game against Hearts which they played at home, their lack of concentration and discipline caused them 2 points as they drew 1-1. Can this be their second away win of the season? Only time will tell.

MEDEAMA vs DWARFS
Medeama pulled off a big win in Match Day 21 as they defeated Asante Kotoko away from home. This crucial result saw Medeama rise to the top of the Ghana Premier League table and they will be looking to grind out results in the coming weeks to maintain their current league position.
Rarely do we hear Ebusua Dwarfs scoring more than 2goals in a league game. But in their previous fixture in the Ghana Premier League, the Cape Coast based side walloped Accra Great Olympics 4-1. It was an impressive result for Dwarfs but can they continue their scoring run against a Medeama side who are looking to keep things tight at the back as they look set to contest for the League title this season?

ELMINA SHARKS vs ASHGOLD
After a home game away from , Elmina sharks are back at their ever daunting grounds ; The Nduom Park, where Ashantigold will travel to fulfill a week 22 fixture of the Ghana Premier League.
The Butweaku mba will be licking their wounds from last round’s 1-2 defeat at Aduana Stars which leaves them in 13th and realistically battling to stay in the league after being separated by just 4 points from the relegation zone. Interim Coach Sam Addo will still sit in as Coach Odartey Lamptey as communicated by the club is on international assignment. To add to their woes, they will be without captain Samuel Arthur, Alhaji Mustapha, Emmanuel Addington, and Justice Mensah who are all suspended. A hard ask for the home side who look severely depleted going into the game. Despite that, Sharks are on a 3-game winning streak at home and are yet to concede during that period.
Ashantigold sit 8th with 30 points. The Aboakese are just 6 points from the top thanks to their good run lately. Unbeaten in 5 with just 2 goals conceded especially after picking up maximum points against teams above them on the league log. Despite being leaders in the goal scoring department with just 33 goals. Ashgold have won 1 away game all season. Coach Roman Folz knows his team’s woes away from home especially on the next ground they visit where they are yet to win. But with Sadan Abagna, Yaw Annor and Amos Addai in such fine form backed by a 4-2 win in their reverse fixture, the Aboakese will be motivated going into this encounter.

BECHEM UNITED vs INTER ALLIES
Bechem United return to their favorite venue, the Bechem Park as they host struggling Inter Allies. The team always finds a way to avoid defeat at home and it is looking like they will finish the season that way. After suffering a 4 – 0 loss to Ashantigold in their last fixture, the team always seems to bounce back solidly in their home fixtures. They come into the game as “wounded lions” and will be nothing short of ruthless in their backyard.
Rock bottom Inter Allies have all to play for, if they have any plans of avoiding relegation. They have won a total of four games all seasons and this fixture presents a tough test in their quest to avoid relegation. Bechem United have not lost at home so far this season and beating them after that heavy defeat they suffered in Obuasi last week is almost impossible. Not even a 10 – 0 win can lift Inter Allies out of the “red” zone. It is now or never for this Inter Allies side.
