Ghana Premier League Matchday 8 Preview: Liberty Professionals v Dreams FC

Published on: 05 February 2020

Liberty Professionals have experienced a stop start to their campaign and aim to get their third win of the campaign as they prepare for a clash with Dreams FC.

The match will be played at the Theatre of Dreams in Dawu, the home grounds of Dreams FC. This is because Liberty are serving an indefinite ban from using their Carl Reindorf Park in Dansoman.

The Carl Reindolf Park has been closed after three snakes were killed during Liberty’s 2-1 defeat against Hearts of Oak.

The two teams come into this fixture having endured different fortunes from the previous matchday. While Liberty held Kotoko, Dreams were beaten by Hearts of Oak at their own backyard.

Both teams also have the same points, 10 each. Dreams are however ahead as they sit 9th  while the Scientific Soccer Lads occupy 10th position. Dreams have a positive two goal difference whilst Liberty have a positive one goal difference.

Liberty defeated WAFA 2-1 away from home and shared the spoils with Kotoko 1-1 in Kumasi.

Dreams, on the other hand, have lost their last two matches. They suffered a 2-1 defeat away at Ebusua Dwarfs before succumbing to a 1-0 loss to Hearts of Oak.

The defeat to Hearts generated alot of controversy. Dreams coach Karim Zito has been charged by GFA Disciplinary Committee after accusing the referees of being partial because of their association with President Kurt Okraku. He made those accusations after the referee waved away an injury-time penalty against the Phobians.

Liberty and Dreams have met five times. Dreams have won two, lost one with one ending in a draw.
