Ghana Premier League: Aduana FC host Gold Stars at Dormaa
Aduana FC return to Premier League action this afternoon against title holders Bibiani Gold Stars under pressure after a dip in form that has seen them win just once in their last five matches.
A narrow defeat to Berekum Chelsea last weekend stalled their title momentum, leaving them in fifth position on the log with 42 points from 28 games.
However, the 'Ogya' (Fire) club will draw confidence from their formidable home record at the Nana Agyemang Badu I Park, where they have lost just once all season and remain unbeaten in their last five, keeping four straight clean sheets.
History also favours them at the Nana Agyeman Badu Park, having beaten Gold Stars FC three times in their last four home meetings.
League leaders Gold Stars FC travel to Dormaa Ahenkro buoyed by a crucial 2-1 home win over Nations FC last Sunday that sent them back to the summit with 51 points.
While their attacking output has been impressive, defensive vulnerabilities remain a concern, particularly on the road where they have struggled (the Bibiani side have conceded 24 goals in 14 matches), winning just once in their last five away matches and conceding heavily.
For the home side, a win will reignite their campaign as they trail the leaders by nine points, while Gold Stars will be mindful of their away-day frailties and battle to avoid defeat to hold firm at the top.
Tomorrow afternoon, Vision FC take on Hearts of Oak at the Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex, Tema.
In this weekend’s other Match Day 29 fixtures, Medeama SC take on Asante Kotoko in Tarkwa, Dreams FC host Eleven Wonders FC at Tuba, Nations FC welcome Basake Holy Stars to Abrankese, Karela United vs Heart of Lions (Tamale), FC Samartex 1996 vs Berekum Chelsea (Samreboi), Young Apostles FC vs Swedru Al Blacks (Wenchi).
