Accra Great Olympics will set their sights on recording a win against AshantiGold at home when the two teams meet this weekend.

Both teams will battle for maximum points when they clash at the Accra Sports stadium on Sunday.

Great Olympics enter this game on the back of a slim margin away loss to Aduana Stars. The Wonder Club scored first but conceded victory to the Ogya Lads in a 2-1 reverse at Dormaa.
They return to the Accra Sports Stadium, a venue they hold an unbeaten record. In their last four games, Coach Annor Walker’s side have won 3 and drawn one in ongoing campaign.

They lashed Legon Cities 3-0, defeated Asante Kotoko and WAFA (1-0) and drew with Ebusua Dwarfs (1-1). Great Olympics sit in sixth place with 11 points, three adrift of leaders Karela United.

Their star man Gladson Awako is expected to carry the team on his shoulders on Sunday as he continues to lead by example. The former T.P Mazembe player has fitted in perfectly combining experience with skills and his versatility.

In AshantiGold, Olympics face a team that is loaded with experience, youth and quality. The Miners after a poor start have got their season back on track.

AshantiGold sit two places above Olympics with a one-point advantage. They are the highest scoring team in the ongoing Premier League with 16 goals, an average of 2.1 goals per game.

They are good on the counter, solid at the back, swift on the wings and very robust in midfield with Appiah McCarthy and Alex Esso deployed in that role.

Full backs Kwadwo Amoako, Abdul Bashiru and Roland Amouzou, have been absolutely brilliant in the season as they continue to be a major source of goals for the club with their intelligent wing play.

Yaw Annor, Jacob Appau, Amos Nkrumah, Mark Agyekum, Amos Addai and David Abagna have all played decently in recent weeks, setting the stage for an exciting game on Sunday.

The game is scheduled for 6pm kick off and will be broadcasted live on StarTimes Adepa channel 247.
