ACCRA LIONS VS ASHANTI GOLD
New entrants Accra Lions seem to have discovered a bit of the spark to alter the trajectory of their premier league campaign, after winning 8 points out of a possible 12, and lifting themselves from the bottom of the table to 11th place. They did their chances a lot of good after dispatching Legon Cities and RTU. They also drew against the mighty Aduana Stars. Quite credible for a team tasting the GPL for the first time. Another test in Ashgold, one of the premier league mainstays will prove how far they have come in the GPL and how further they want to go this season.
Ashanti Gold registered a win against the bottom side of the league, Elmina Sharks. This came after 3 successive defeats against Kotoko, Medeama and Berekum Chelsea. As to whether they will add Accra Lions to their list of teams to defeat is left to be seen. Away from home, with an average of 1 point per game away from home this season, the odds are against Ashgold to grab something from this game.

KARELA UNITED VS HEARTS OF OAK
It will be a crunch encounter between Karela and Accra Hearts of Oak in this match day 14 clash. Karela, having beaten King Faisal away from home on match day 13 could not repeat the feat in their FA cup round of 32 match up. Nevertheless, they will be hyped as the defending champions come to town. It was a one all draw when the two faced off in the return fixture last season.
This will be a tricky encounter for the defending champions as they come up against Karela. Even though their opponent hasn’t been on the best of forms, they still a pose a major threat to any team that visits at the CAM Park. After a thumping win against Eleven Wonders, they followed it up with any win in their FA Cup round of 16 match against Golden Kick SC. Hearts will be highly motivated for this next match.
