Two struggling title contenders, Medeama SC and Aduana Stars face each other in an interesting Match Week 8 match-up.
The fixture takes place on Saturday January 8, in what is the first premier league fixture to take place in Tarkwa in 2021. Medeama are winless at home so far and have won just one of their last 5 league games.
They suffered a first half collapse against WAFA; trailing the Academy Boys by 4-0 until they drastically reduced the deficit in what eventually turned out as a 5-4 defeat.
Coach Samuel Boadu is under increasing pressure to improve the side’s results or his job could be on the line.
Aduana’s form has not been much different from their weekend opponent. Though their home form has improved (2 wins in last two), the Ogya lads have picked just 2 points from their last 3 away games.
They have also conceded in all away games played in this term ( 3 in 3 games) and Coach Samuel Paa Kwesi Fabin will eye an improvement when they visit Medeama who have been struggling at home.
Medeama’s home record stands at 3 draws from 3 games. They have failed to score more than a goal at home and Aduana would be eyeing a first away clean sheet against a side struggling to score at home.
From observation, a low scoring draw looks more probable.
The game is scheduled for 3pm kick off and will be broadcasted live on StarTimes Adepa channel 247.
