In a pivotal match set to define their fortunes in the ongoing Ghana Premier League season, Real Tamale United (RTU) is gearing up to face off against Bofoakwa Tano at the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex this Saturday.
With both teams desperately seeking points to climb out of the relegation zone, the encounter promises to be fiercely contested.
RTU, currently sitting in the 18th position on the league table with 17 points, has struggled in recent outings, managing just one victory in their last five games while suffering four defeats. Their most recent setback came in a disappointing 3-0 loss against Accra Hearts of Oak on matchday 18 at the Accra Sports Stadium.
On the other hand, Bofoakwa Tano finds themselves marginally ahead of RTU, occupying the 17th spot with 18 points. However, their recent form hasn't been much better, with three losses and two draws in their last five matches. Their last fixture saw them narrowly edged out 1-0 by Accra Great Olympics at the Coronation Park.
With both teams aware of the significance of securing a positive result, Saturday's showdown carries immense importance. For RTU, it presents a chance to claw their way out of the relegation zone, while Bofoakwa Tano will be eager to widen the gap between them and the bottom of the table.
