KUMASI ASANTE KOTOKO VS BECHEM UNITED
The porcupine warriors are fresh from the humiliating defeat in the FA Cup at the hands of Asokwa Deportivo and the humbling experience of facing their chairman’s wrath. In addition to that, their newly adopted home, the Accra Sports Stadium will host their game against Bechem United. With news about the return of Sogne Yacouba back into the squad after protracted contract talks, this will serve as a freshener for Kotoko as his contribution to the side was quite significant before the contract rift.
Bechem United on the other hand, lie 6th on the table and have won 2 of their last 5 games. They are just 4 points from the top of the table and have given a good account of themselves so far. They have to prove that knocking out Aduana Stars in the MTN FA Cup was no fluke.

DREAMS FC VS ADUANA STARS FC
Dreams FC host Aduana Stars in game week 12, having lost their last game week match against AshGold by kind courtesy an 80th minute own goal by Abdulai Ibrahim. Dreams have only won one in five with their win coming away from home. Dreams will look to improve their home record with a win against Aduana.
Aduana have not beaten dreams fc in their two away encounters and will be hoping to break that jinx. The lads from Dormaa who have been bundled out of the FA Cup will look to their in-form striker Yahaya Mohammed who has 10 goals in 11 games to do the damage for them. Aduana are a point away from the league’s top spot and a win will keep the pressure up on the league leaders as well as the chasing pack.

BEREKUM CHELSEA VS KINGFAISAL BABES
Superb on the road, lackluster at home. Berekum Chelsea are having a topsy-turvy season and lie 4th on the table with just one point off top spot. At the Golden City park a paltry 4 goals in 5 outings have been recorded, with Liberty, Aduana and Inter Allies all picking up points still early in the season. The blues are actually also the only side not to have scored 2 goals in a game all season. Clearly, their successes have been built on rock solid defensive performances.
11 games and counting and it’s still no wins and no clean sheets for Slavisa Bozicic’s side who lie bottom of the log and look favourites for the drop after just 11 games, shipping in 23 goals in the process; the most by any side. Life back in the top flight might have come too early for King Faisal who average a concession rate of over 2 goals per game. The one high should be their goal scoring prowess (14) which is better than that of top of the log Ashanti Gold.

LIBERTY PROFESSIONALS VS KARELA UNITED
The Scientific Soccer lads are back at home where they face Karela United for a chance to get back to winning ways. Fans of Liberty Professionals will be hoping for a similar performance from Game week 10, where their team walloped Aduana Stars 5-2.
Karela United will be favoring their chances of returning back home with at least a point after drawing their last match at Home against Accra Hearts of Oak. On the other hand, their form in the past five games paints another picture. Currently 16th on the League table, and with no victory away from home, things could move from bad to worse for Karela United if they are unable to quell the impending barrage of attacks from Liberty Professionals.

EBUSUA DWARFS VS INTER ALLIES
The Central Region based club will host in-form Inter Allies on Sunday at the Cape Coast stadium. Being fully aware of the threat of their opponents who have won 3 of their last 5 games, the game will be cagey as expected but quelling the threat of Victorien Adebayor is the first headache for the hosts. The aforementioned have recorded wins in their last two home games and are seeking to make their home a fortress.
Inter Allies have not flattered to deceive as they gradually trudge upward on the league log. For a team with much hype, their 11th position on the table leaves much to be desired and results must beworked on as soon as possible. They must also ensure that their foremost threat, which is in the attacking third is not neutralized. Their defeat to Medeama was evidence of their impotence when their attack is given no room to operate.

ACCRA HEARTS OF OAK VS ELMINA SHARKS
Accra Hearts of Oak are poised to register another win in their game against Elmina Sharks. With only two home defeats so far this season, the Phobians could move up to 5th place on the table if they win. With the return of their midfield maestro Emmanuel Nettey after missing out in their 2-0 win FA Cup match against lower tier side Danbort FC due to yellow card accumulation, a win will be a sweet return for him and his team mates.
Elmina Sharks are so far unbeaten in their last four games, having won all including an FA CUP match against Swedru All Blacks. The Fearsome Sharks as they are popularly called, will rely on their recent surge in form to topple the great “Oak tree” come match week 12.

MEDEAMA SC VS ACCRA GREAT OLYMPICS
Match day 12 takes us straight to the mining town of Tarkwa where the host Medeama SC welcomes their opponents from Accra, Accra Great Olympics. The Akoon park will witness a nerve racking match between the two teams who contest on that fateful Monday. Medeama sit in 2nd position, 9 points above their opponents who are having a fluctuating series of points accumulation, with 3 wins 2 draws and 6 losses this season. The home side will look forward to capitalize on the weak form of their opponents and a win won’t be farfetched for them.
Olympics on the other hand have proven not to be pushovers. They have been able to rise above the relegation zone so far and have garnered in 11 points from 11 games. Though that is not a healthy return, a surprise can be pulled from the hat. So far, they have beaten Karela United, Inter Allies FC and King Faisal Babes. Will Medeama be added to that list?

WAFA VS ASHANTI GOLD SC
WAFA will host the league leaders come Sunday at the WAFA stadium in Sogakope. The home team has had a decent run of form over their previous five games, with three draws and a win, just 5 points behind their opponents. They will however be poised to grab a win on their home ground come Sunday, to break their series of draws.
Ashanti Gold on the other hand are coming from an impressive string of performances, coupled with a robust defense that has kept a clean sheet throughout their last five matches. Coach Richardo De Rocha will employ his closed defense tactics and count on his sharp shooters to cause damage once again, a tactic the home side must be wary of.

LEGON CITIES FC VS TECHIMAN ELEVEN WONDERS
Legon Cities FC come into match day 12 with 3 draws and a win in their last five games. After snatching Baba Mahama into their ranks, they seem to be on course to bolster their squad after the MTN FA Cup break. So far, only two wins have come out from the endeavours of the renamed outfit. Their inconsistent form leaves them in 14th position, 2 points off the drop zone.
The spirited lads from Techiman have recorded 2 wins and 2 draws from their last 5 games. They triumphed over King Faisal and Olympics in their last two games. Legon Cities present a possible prospect to grab maximum points. Giant killing feats such as the victory against Aduana Stars should give them some impetus as their hosts are not known to be formidable at home.
