MEDEAMA SC VS TECHIMAN ELEVEN WONDERS
Joint table toppers Medeama welcome 10th placed Techiman Eleven Wonders to the Tarkwa Akoon Park in a Match day 14 clash of the Ghana Premier League. Medeama shut out free-scoring King Faisal in a stalemate over the weekend; second team to achieve this feat. The Yellow and Mauves will look to strengthen their grip on top spot by seeking another victory in their new found home. They have been invincible in all but one game where they lost to Elmina sharks. Quite an adopted home this one is! Prince Opoku Agyeman’s run of 4 consecutive games on the score sheet will seek resurrection after his barren display last week. He is their top scorer with 9 goals this season.
The Techiman boys themselves have lighted a torch that seems to be burning much longer than they imagined. After losing 3 of their first 4 games they’ve gone on to lose just 1 of their last 8, winning 4 in the process and unbeaten in their last 5. Most of the plaudits should go to the league’s youngest coach; Ignatius Osei-Fosu who’s shuffle has turned things round especially getting the best form out of their forward Musa Sule who has 5 goals in his last 8 matches.

BEREKUM CHELSEA VS LEGON CITIES FC
Two wins from five matches, Berekum Chelsea are performing averagely in the Ghana Premier League as the season heads toward the halfway stretch of the league. They need to be racking up more wins to solidify their position in the Top 4 of the League. Berekum Chelsea only boasts two wins from 5 games. They will be looking to bounce back from their loss in their previous match away against Eleven Wonders. Against a side on the ascendancy, a win for Chelsea will not come on a silver platter.
Legon Cities are on an unbeaten run after 5 games of not tasting defeat. But this form within these 5 games only involves one win. Going away to Berekum, their unbeaten run will be tested. They were the biggest winners of Game Week 13 after thrashing WAFA 4-1 in Accra last week. After ending their draw run, they will be looking to build on another run which will involve more victories and improve their current position on the table.

EBUSUA DWARFS VS KING FAISAL FC
Ebusua Dwarfs hosts King Faisal at the Robert Mensah Sports Stadium, a fixture which promises to be an intense battle between two teams, as they fight for their lives in the league with both of them rooted in the relegation places. All of Dwarfs’ wins have come at home this season and a match up against the team which is bottom of the league will present a fine opportunity for the Ogua Boys to rack up some home wins.
King Faisal are without a win this season, drawing six and losing seven in the process. They can take positives from their drawn game in game week 13 against Medeama FC. “The Babes” have only failed to score in two games this season and that will give the team some morale as the search for the first win of the season continues.

LIBERTY PROFESSIONALS VS INTER ALLIES
The Carl Reindorf Park will be the center of this interesting battle between the twelfth and the eleventh placed teams in the league. The scientific soccer lads, as they are called, will need to make home advantage count as they have only won two matches at home so far this season. Liberty have shown that they can turn on the style at home as they demolished Aduana by 5 goals to 2 in game week 10. They will have to take their chances if they want to come out with something in this fixture.
Inter Allies’ recent wins this season have come away from home, beating Berekum Chelsea and Eleven Wonders in the process. This will give them a boost going into this match. Their top goal scorer in Victorien Adebayor will be desperate to score as he has failed to score in 3 matches and with the goal king race becoming tight at the top, any slip up might prove costly in the long run.
Both teams will be pumped up going into this match.

KUMASI ASANTE KOTOKO VS ELMINA SHARKS
The porcupine warriors are in great form and are joint top league leaders with 24 points. They will welcome Elmina sharks to the Accra sports stadium on match week 14. Kotoko have won 2 out of their last 3 matches against the sharks. The porcupine warriors are determined to move top of the table and the third successive win can help a great deal. They are locked at the top of the table with Medeama and Aduana. The warriors are beginning to find their feet with the return of their striker Sogne Yacouba back in the team.
Elmina sharks are looking like “surprise” title contenders after going five games without a defeat. They have won four and drawn one and are currently 6th on the league table with 21 points. They are 3 points away from the league leaders, a win against Kotoko will see them climb into the top four.
Kotoko has had some impressive displays at the Accra sports stadium and fans should expect an intriguing and entertaining fixture with lots of goals.

DREAMS FC VRS KARELA UNITED FC
Dreams FC will host Karela United on match day 14. Both sides have been struggling and the statistics over their past five matches is nothing good to write about. The host lies in the fourteenth position with 15 points, while the visitors lie at the seventeenth position with just 10 points so far. This will be a much anticipated redemption game for both teams with both coaches and players under pressure to perform. The home side has registered no goal over the past 5 matches.
The away team however played an impressive game against Kumasi Asante Kotoko in the last match but succumbed to a goal defeat. This game looks like one with a low scoring prediction.

WAFA FC VS ADUANA STARS FC
WAFA tasted their second defeat of the season on match week 13. The academy boys were battered 4-1 by Legon Cities at the Accra Sports Stadium. It was a match of high anticipation which yielded a much surprising results with a high goal margin. The academy boys have to put the defeat behind them and fight back if they want to contest for the ultimate against Aduana. Can they turn the heat on the visiting Aduana Stars when they come visiting at Sogakope on match week 14?
Aduana drew 0:0 with AshGold at the Nana Agyemang Badu Park in their previous match. They are currently in 3rd position with 24 points after 13 games. Aduana have had 2 wins away from home in 6 matches and would seek to take advantage of the seeming psychological weakness of the academy boys brought about by the drubbing at the hands of Legon Cities.

HEARTS OF OAK VS GREAT OLYMPICS
The ‘Mantse’ derby will seek to crown the kings of the capital as the Phobians lock horns in a titanic encounter against their ‘noisy neighbours’. Accra Hearts of Oak will play as the home team. The hype and enthusiasm surrounding the game creates an appetizing prospect for both sets of fans and neutrals. Hearts of Oak are ninth on the league log, having won just one of their last five games and are poised to grab the bragging rights by the end of proceedings.
The wonder club have been quite vociferous on social media and will seek to translate that confidence gained from their last home win onto the pitch and in the crucial derby. After beating fellow relegation strugglers Ebusua Dwarfs by two goals to nil, their ascent towards the safer places on the league log will be made even sweeter with a victory over city rivals. One question for the technical and playing body to answer is that of consistency. A win from the last five games with three defeats along the way is not an encouraging form. All in all, the fixture is one to savour and will be a great advert for the league if both teams can bring quality into the game.
