Local giants, Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak, will be in the spotlight for obvious reasons this weekend when the overly delayed First Capital Plus Premier League starts in a thrilling fashion.
As expected, both teams have promised to win the title ahead of the starter’s gun, giving the pundits and their fans alike a lot to hope for.
However, Kotoko open their title defence tomorrow in a difficult Dormaa-Ahenkro terrain against an Aduana Stars side which barely escaped relegation last season, while their Phobian rivals play unpredictable WAFA (formerly Feyenoord Academy) home away from home at Kpando this afternoon due to suspension.
Another action spot today will be the Sunyani Coronation Park where Coach Frimpong Manso leads returnee B.A.United against Bechem United in a fierce regional derby.
Off-season gurus, Ashantigold, will be out to prove that their GHALCA Top 4 triumph and another victory over Kotoko at the Baba Yara Stadium was no fluke when they welcome Kassim Mingle’s Great Olympics to the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium.
At Kpando tomorrow, potential title-holder Heart of Lions start as favourites against visiting New Edubiase, while Coach Annor Walker’s Medeama storm Tema to challenge Paa Kwesi Fabin’s Inter Allies for the maximum points.
Wa All Stars are tipped to send Berekum Chelsea home empty-handed in their encounter at Wa.
The Sekondi Stadium at Essipon will be the stage for the close battle between Hasaacas and Liberty Professionals tomorrow.
