All is up for grabs in this sizzling encounter between Medeama SC and AshantiGold SC.
The Mauves and Yellows welcome the Miners to the mining town of Tarkwa hoping to continue their unblemished record at the Tarkwa Akoon Park.
This will be Medeama’s third home game of the campaign. They have impressively downed two big boys.
Both Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko were dealt with comprehensively as Medeama SC recorded 3-0 and 1-0 wins against the two respectively.
Topping up their outstanding home form is the fact that they are yet to concede in all two matches played.
They welcome a wounded Ashgold who got breached for the first time last weekend.
Prior to their home encounter against Berekum Chelsea, Ashgold had not lost a game and also had a 100% clean sheet record.
They however lost these two enviable records as they got pipped by a lone goal by the team of the moment.
They will need to pull themselves together for this dangerous trip to Tarkwa; a ground notable for slaying great sides.
