ACCRA GREAT OLYMPICS VS BEREKUM CHELSEA

The two teams clash after none of them recorded a win in match day 10. Berekum Chelsea come into the game as a humiliated team after Inter Allies masterminded a master class in Berekum. Accra Great Olympics were also able to nick just a point versus Legon Cities FC in Accra (as the away team). Berekum Chelsea’s zeal which saw them go on a giant killing spree against Kotoko, Hearts of Oak and Ashgold in the backgrounds of the aforementioned teams seems to have waned though the brilliance of their opponents (Inter Allies) must be commended.

Redemption will be in the sights and on the agenda of both teams. The home team sits above the relegation zone by just a point while the visitors will seek to re-join the pack at the top by making amends to their current record of 3 losses in their last 5 games.

ASHANTIGOLD VS DREAMS FC

The table toppers will seek to consolidate their gains and tighten their grip on the 1st position as they host Dreams FC. The miners were among the top five teams (which were tied on 17 points apiece) after match day 9. Dreams FC may not be a daunting prospect due to the latter’s patchy vein of form. AshGold’s impenetrable backline could also be a source of inspiration for the Obuasi lads. Goalkeeper Frank Boateng and his defenders will seek to extend such a formidable record.

Dreams FC on the other hand need maximum points badly and will go all out to redeem their poor form. They have won just once in their last five games. Dantani Amadu, who saw red against Kotoko will be available for selection for the Believers. Though the tie looks tricky for the more fancied side, AshGold, it is an interesting match-up which may spring surprises.

ELIMINA SHARKS VS EBUSUA DWARFS
