Medeama SC host Asante Kotoko in this re-arranged Ghana Premier League fixture on Sunday December 27.
The game takes place at the Akon Park at Tarkwa with kick off slated for 3pm GMT.
Both sides have not had quite the season they expected so far.
Its been a rollercoaster ride so far for Medeama SC who fo into today’s clash still searching for their first home win.
The Mauves and Yellow were billed as genuine title contenders but their off-color performances so far has seen them struggle to accumulate the needed points to back such claims.
From the evidence available, it’s clear Coach Samuel Boadu’s side miss dearly the services of top striker Prince Opoku Agyemang who has left for South African side Cape Town City FC.
In his absence the Tarkwa based side have scored just 3 goals in their first 5 matches of the campaign and won just once.
The situation needs to improve swiftly if Medeama are to turn around their season and keep their title ambitions alive.
Asante Kotoko have not been any better than their opponents.
Despite winning 2 games from their first five, the Porcupine Warriors have not really stamped their authority or dominance in games much to the satisfaction of their ever demanding fans.
A 1 nil loss to Olympics cost club legend Maxwell Konadu his job as Head Coach with Johnson Smith asked to fill the void created temporarily.
Smith masterminded a 1 nil win on the road against Dreams FC and that will give his confidence a boost ahead of this crunch fixture.
He will have to get his boys to quickly forget their midweek defeat to Al Hilal in the CAF Champions League and focus on how to get something out of this encounter.
The game promises bigger things than the titanic but the odds favour Medeama SC to get their first home win judging by their most recent record against Kotoko.
Their last three visits by have ended in slim margin defeats and one will have to lmgo way back to 2016 as the last time Kotoko picked a point at Tarkwa versus Medeama.
The match will be live on TV via Startimes Channel 247.
