Fans of Ashantigold would expect Coach Bashir Hayford to conjure yet another magic to maintain their invincibility when they play Medeama at the Tarkwa T&A Park this afternoon.
Since the start of this season’s First Capital Plus Premier League, the Soccer Miners’ have been the team to beat with credit going to their tactician who has ensured that they bagged the maximum points, regardless of the opposition.
While some connoisseurs of the game believe Ashantigold are yet to be tested, others are of the view that with their current form they could bulldoze their way through.
But although Medeama have not had a good start, they are determined to avoid disgrace before their home supporters today.
Medeama are ready to halt their poor run by beating Ashantigold under new Swedish coach, Tom Strand, to send a signal to the other clubs who would want to take them for granted this season.
The former Bechem United trainer Strand could find an antidote for the league leaders and, with the likes of Evans Kwao, Francis Addo, Samuel Adade, Daniel Amoah, Victor Ayirey and Muntari Tagoe, the Swede has the men to pull the brakes on the Obuasi side.
Accra Hearts of Oak can ride on the back of the fine scoring form of Gilbert Fiamenyo to get a good result against Bechem United at Bechem park this afternoon.
At the other centres, B.A. United travel to Obuasi to battle New Edubiase United, while Heart of Lions host Hasaacas in another grudge match at the Kpando Park. The Berekum Golden City Park is the venue for another crunch battle between Berekum Chelsea and WAFA.
The Carl Reindorf Park at Dansoman will also witness an exciting encounter betweeen Liberty Professionals and Wa All Stars, while Accra Great Olympics engage Aduana Stars at the Accra Stadium.
