Match week 21 of the 2021/2022 Ghana Premier League season sees struggling Real Tamale United host flying Aduana Stars at the Aliu Mahama stadium.
The meeting is one between teams with completely different fortunes.
On one hand, Aduana Stars are the second best team in the league and will be looking to consolidate their spot behind Kotoko, while on the other hand RTU are fighting to avoid a return to the second tier of Ghana football.
Preview
Real Tamale United head into the game after suffering a defeat at the hands of West African Football Academy in week 20 of the season.
As a result, RTU have now join the likes of Techiman Eleven Wonders and WAFA as potential candidates to join Elmina Sharks who are a certainty for relegation this season.
Playing on home soil, they are thus expected to take all three points to enhance their chances of surviving this season.
But that will also be a tough ask, considering this afternoon’s opponent.
Aduana Stars have arguably been the most consistent team behind Kotoko in the league this season and would want to maintain that reputation.
The Dormaa side will also be wary of the potential threat of the likes of Olympics, Bechem United and Medeama who are closing in on them on the league table.
