Published on: 11 May 2017

The Ghana Premier League gets back to full gear this weekend as it enters its fifteenth matches across all league venues.

Bechem United will go head-to-head with Aduana Stars in a crucial regional derby of Ghana Premier League week 15 clash at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park in Bechem on Sunday afternoon.

The Hunters have been a strong force at Home this term. Out of six matches, they have won three, drawn two and lost one. They have scored four and conceded one so far this season.

Aduana Stars, meanwhile, have fared quite well on the road. Out of six away fixtures, the Ogya Boys have won two, drawn three, lost one and conceded seven.

Bechem United have engaged Aduana Stars eight times since they got promoted in the 2011/2012 league season.

Both have met four times at the Nana Ofosu Gyeabour Park with the Homers winning two and drawing the other. The visitors are yet to win a game at that venue.

The last time the two sides met at the Bechem Park, it finished 2-1 in favour of the Homers.

Bechem United sit comfortably in fifth with 21 points whilst Aduana Stars currently lie second on the league standings with 29 points.

Ahmed Toure is Bechem United's topscorer with six goals with Tanko Mohammed leading the goal king chart at Aduana Stars with four goals.

Goal-shy Asante Kotoko will be at Home to Tema Youth. The Porcupine warriors have not won a game since the sacking of Zdravko Lugarisic. However, they will look to end this run when they face the Harbour Boys at their own backyard.

Elsewhere, Ashanti Gold will be hoping to produce a response to last weekend's 4-1 defeat by Dwarfs as they invite seventh-placed Wa All Stars to the Lenclay Stadium in Obuasi with Elmina Sharks shrugging it out with Ebusua Dwarfs at the Nduom Sports Complex.

Furthermore, Table-Toppers, West African Football Academy (WAFA), after losing 2-1 to Hearts of Oak on Monday will be aiming to return to winning ways when they entertain Inter Allies at the Red Bull Arena in Sogakope on Saturday whilst Fourth-placed Berekum Chelsea will tackle Great Olympics at the Golden City Park.

Accra Hearts of Oak will be looking to power pressure on second-placed Aduana Stars as they travel to Dansoman to pit strenght with Liberty Professionals at the Carl Reindorf Park in an Accra derby whereas Second-Bottom Bolga All Stars will battle it out with Mid-Table Medeama SC at the Tamale Utretch Park.
