ADUANA STARS VS WAFA
Arguably, the fixture of the day, Dormaa will host the youthful West African Football Academy.
Aduana jumped into 4th place after picking vital away points in Accra, against Legon Cities. The solitary strike by Yahya Mohammed from a freekick, proved to be bolt in the blue for the push into 4th spot. WAFA presents a different prospect, with the energy. Though experience will be on their side, with the likes of Emmanuel Gyamfi in their fold, as well as home advantage, they are likely to nick this game, no matter the challenge WAFA will throw at them.
WAFA were winners very late on in their last game against Great Olympics, when Philip Sackey’s error in injury time led to a penalty, which was expertly converted. That win lifted them from the bottom places into 14th place. Coach Guillermo Zaragoza is yet to exert his preferred possession style of play on the team, and the results are not coming in as fast as he would have desired. It is quite early to judge the success of his methods, but facing Aduana in Dormaa will be a real test for the young Spaniard.

ACCRA LIONS VS ELEVEN WONDERS
The Lions are in action against Eleven Wonders in the capital. They have not been as blistering and promising as they were seen in the Division One league. Flamboyance will be a luxury for now, but the focus must be on grinding the results to sustain some momentum and maintain a chance of remaining in Ghana’s top flight.
Eleven Wonders lie in 13th position with 5 points from 5 games, recoding a win, two draws and two losses. Their last game, which was a win against Elmina Sharks, brought some respite to their fans and the resignation of Elmina Sharks’ coach Odartey Lamptey. They would fancy their chances against the newcomers who are yet to find their feet.

ELMINA SHARKS VS KARELA UNITED
Very early on in the season, Elmina Sharks are grappling with a major headache of the resignation of their coach, Odartey Lamptey. They were humbled by Eleven Wonders in their last game and lie in last but one place, awaiting the outcome of Hearts of Oak’s next game to know if they will be rock bottom or not. Their spirits will be at the lowest ebb now and will need a great degree of inspiration to get anything out of this game, though they are the home team.
Karela United were engaged in one of the feistiest encounters so far this season, when Kotoko came visiting. They huffed and puffed but couldn’t breach the Porcupine warriors’ defensive barriers. Their display and drive was high in that game. If they can replicate that drive, they can steal a win away from home against a struggling and less motivated team.
