Can Holy Stars spoil Nations FC’s party?
League leaders, Nations FC, will look to further extend their lead on the league log when they play as guests of Basake Holy Stars at the Ampain AAK II Sports Arena.
Three points separate Nations FC and Bibiani Gold Stars going into this weekend’s round of games, and victory for the leaders and a slip by Bibiani Gold Stars will all but secure Nations FC their first title after just two seasons in the league.
Holy Stars, on the other hand, will be fighting for a win to improve their chances of escaping relegation at the end of the campaign.
Berekum Chelsea are expected to put their last two league defeats behind them as they host Bibiani Gold Stars at the Golden City Park.
Gold Stars, who are three points off leaders, Nations FC, will look to push for victory while hoping the leaders drop points to have it all to play for on the final day.
At the Baba Yara Stadium tomorrow, Asante Kotoko will strive to maintain their slim title hopes when they face off with Medeama SC.
Karela United will return to the Aliu Mahama Stadium in Tamale where they face Young Apostles.
A tension-packed atmosphere is expected at the Accra Sports Stadium when relegation-threatened, Accra Lions, host Dreams FC in a must-win game for the home side.
Accra Lions would have everything to play for in this game, as any result apart from a victory will condemn them to the lower division.
Elsewhere, Kpando Heart of Lions will look to secure their 16th victory of the campaign against Bechem United just as Samartex FC hopes for a double over visiting Aduana Stars at the Nsenkyire Sports Complex.
Already relegated Legon Cities will attempt to thwart the top four dreams of Hearts of Oak when they clash at the University of Ghana Stadium in Legon tomorrow.
