League leaders Aduana Stars will look to stretch their lead on the betPawa Premier League log when they lock horns with Accra Great Olympics at the Kwame Kyei Sports Complex in Abrankese, today.
Aduana Stars was moved to the venue due to a temporary ban from their home ground following an incident that saw Tamale City players and officials attacked after their matchday 25 game.
Focused on winning the league diadem for the third time in the club’s history, Coach Paa Kwesi Fabin believes the dream was on course, although they are playing away from their favourite grounds.
However, they would have it tough considering Olympics’ resolve to salvage at least a point to boost their battle for survival.
It will be a nervy battle at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium today when new boys Tamale City play host to second-placed Bechem United.
Tamale City is currently engaged in a relegation dogfight with Kotoku Royals, Legon Cities, Great Olympics, and Dreams FC and would need all the points available to move off the drop zone.
Having suffered defeat in their last game against the Aduana Stars, with some players also suffering injuries from the attack that followed, City will bang their hopes on home support to spur them on to victory.
For the visitors, having drawn 0-0 with the same side back in Bechem in December, this game presents an opportunity to further their title aspirations by grabbing all three points to close the gap on Aduana.
Tomorrow, the environs of Tarkwa and beyond will come to a standstill when Karela United ‘jets’ into town to face-off with Medeama SC at Akoon Park.
Games between the two neighbours have left fans asking for more, and this duel will be no exception.
Medeama is on a good run of form at home; that run has seen them dispatch the likes of Samartex 1996, Legon Cities, Berekum Chelsea, Great Olympics, and lately Bibiani Gold Stars.
However, Head Coach Shaibu Tanko of Karela United believes his side would not be added to the casualties.
Steadily rising on the log, King Faisal would be at the Kwame Kyei Sports Complex to host Dreams FC.
In other games, relegation-threatened Legon Cities will be looking to snatch all three points off visiting Kotoku Royals when they clash at the El Wak Stadium.
At the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium, Real Tamale United will look to lift themselves out of the 12th position when they welcome Gold Stars.
Elsewhere, Samartex 1996 will be at home at the Nsenkyire Sports Complex to face Accra Lions, while Accra Hearts of Oak host new boys Nsoatreman FC under the floodlights at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
