This weekend at the Accra Sports Stadium, they come face-to-face with another setup, Medeama SC, that holds a long-standing ambition of winning the league, it’s first in the clubs history.

Samuel Boadu’s boys have won all their last five games at home an enviable feat in the league; the second team to coup most 33 points at home two shy of Dawu based Dreams FC, who has picked 35 points at home. 

The home side are beaming with lots of confidence even though the only glitch to their fine form is their inability to break down their bitter city rivals Great Olympics a week past in a match that drew a large gathering to the stadium.

For Yaw Preko and his ably quality setup, this game is a make or break for them, having lost two consecutive matches, a home loss to WAFA SC, and an away loss to Aduana SC at the Nana Agyemang Badu Park has awakened the demon in them.

The likes of Prince Agyemang, Ahmed Toure, and Zakaria Mumuni have been impressive since joining up with the squad aiding in twelve goals in as many matches that the trio have played together.
