GPL Preview: Aduana takes on Hearts in a top of the Table battle

Published on: 03 March 2017

 

Aduana Stars will take on Hearts of Oak in the Top-of-the-Table battle in the week 5 of the 2016/2017 Ghana Premier League at the Agyemang Badu Park in Dormaa on Sunday.

 

The Phobians began the season on a positive note drawing three games consecutively and winning one.

However, they will look to make it two wins on the spin when they meet the Ogya lads at their favourite Home ground.

 

Aduana Stars on the other hand, started their campaign on a high note winning three games and drawing one.

 

Both teams have proved to have one of the best defenses in the premier league this season having conceded one and two goals each respectively.

 

Frank Nuttal's men have met Aduana Stars six times at the Dormaa Park since they were promoted into the league in the 2009/2010 season winning two, drawing two and losing two.

 

A win for the Host will extend their lead at the top of the table to 13 points while a win for the Phobians will take them to second with 9 points.

 

After losing to Bolga All Stars, Great Olympics will hope to get their season back on track as the square-off with West African Football Academy (WAFA) at the Accra Sports stadium.

 

In other exciting ties, defending champions, Wa All Stars will look to improve on their poor start to the season when they host Inter Allies at the Wa Sports Stadium as Medeama SC face a testing trip to Cape Coast to meet Mysterious Ebusua Dwarfs.

 

Elsewhere, newly-promoted side Elmina Sharks will rub shoulders with an Asante Kotoko side who have gain a bit of confidence after two successive victories at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi with Bechem United battling it out with Liberty Professionals at the Golden City Park.

 

Ashanti Gold will hope to bounce back from last Monday's derby defeat as they travel to Berekum as guest to Chelsea whereas struggling Bolga All Stars will come up against Tema Youth at the Tema Sports Stadium.
