League leaders Bibiani Gold Stars will have no commitment in week 31 as their opponents Nsoatreman has withdrawn from the league.
The Bibiani-based club will enjoy the free three points which will help them still remain on top of the table even though Nations can leapfrog them with a win on Monday afternoon against Legon Cities.
Nations FC now has the momentum and they are now the favorites to win the league. If Nations can win all their last four games, the Abrankese-based club will be champions. A trip to face the unpredictable Legon Cities at the Accra Sports Stadium is on the agenda and the club must not fail as they did in their last away game at Bechem.
Asante Kotoko will welcome Dreams FC to the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi. The game will be an emotional one for Abdul-Karim Zito who is meeting his former side. Zito and Dreams became like father and son as the two were inseparable until Kotoko came calling. The coach still remains optimistic of winning the league with Kotoko after Gold Stars failed to keep their form. With just 12 points left to fight for, Asante Kotoko can’t afford to drop even one of them. Dreams always pose a huge threat and Fabulous must prepare well.
Third place Heart of Lions who are just three points behind the leaders will travel to face Basake Holy Stars. Bashir Hayford’s side still are in contention and can spring a surprise starting with a victory at Holy Stars. Hayford has already predicted that the title will go down to the wire so watch out for his side fight until it is all over.
Samuel Boadu will welcome his former side Accra Hearts of Oak to Berekum to face Berekum Chelsea. The Phobians have beern rextremely disastrous in recent weeks having won just a game in the last 9. Aboubakar Ouattara’s time is almost up and he must end it in a grand style. A defeat at Chelsea will pile much pressure on the Ivorian head coach.
Accra Lions will commence the round with a game at the Accra Sports Stadium against Aduana Stars. Accra Lions still remain in the relegation zone trailing Karela United who sits a place above the danger zone by 3 points. The visit of Aduana Stars is a must win for the struggling Accra Lions.
Karela United who recorded the most shocking scoreline of the season in round 30: a 1-0 win at Bibiani Gold Stars will have the opportunity to ease relegation fears with a home game against Medeama. The Mauve and Yellow are 6 points behind the leaders and have almost zero chance of winning the league. A trip to Tamale to face Karela is a difficult one for Ibrahim Tanko and his men and they must play above their usual standards to snatch all the three points.
Samartex at the Nsenkyire Sports Arena in Samraboi will welcome Bechem United with the game looking like a dead rubber.
Vision FC and Young Apostles who are just separated by one point will clash at Vision as whoever wins will win a valuable three points.
