Both teams, have so far showed they are worthy contenders for the trophy following the display of some fine perfomances during the elimination stages.
With the home fans ready to throw their support behind La, it appears the host looks the favourites to walk away with the ultimate prize.
But for Tema striker and former Ashgold player, Isaac Amoah, home advantage will not be a factor in the clash because all their preliminary round games were played at the same venue and they won their games courtesy support of their own loyal travelling fans.

In an interview with Mirror Sports shortly after scoring the only goal in their 1-0 win over Teshie last Monday, Amoah said the La defence would prove no match for their attack and they would walk away with the ultimate trophy.
"We have a very strong attacking force and certain to get the goals against La and take the trophy to Tema", he stated.
"We play very good possession football and we always score goals, there is no way La can stop us even with home support.”
However, Kakramadu XI has vowed not to disappoint the home support come Sunday, with Inter Allies striker Samuel Mensah Konney, who scored the winning penalty kick in their 4-3 semi-final win over Nungua vowing to repeat his heroics.
Konney said although he was anticipating a tough clash against Tema on Sunday, his side would live up to the billing as favourites by winning the game.
Meanwhile, the secretary of the Organising Committee of the competition, Daniel Koney, is expecting a massive turnout for the finals and has promised all invited guests of adequate security on Sunday.
