Bechem United start another campaign keen on avoiding another relegation battle as they confront Liberty Professionals in their opener on Sunday Nana Fosu Gyeabour II Park.
The Hunters beaten Liberty in all three home matches and that should be a motivation.
Captain Noah Martey left the club to sign regional rivals Aduana Stars but have signed former Kotoko defender Akwesi Acheampong.
The scientific soccer lads have their eyes on a top four slot with the absence of two most influential players Daniel Agyei and Kennedy Ashia who travelled overseas for greener pastures
Liberty will be counting on Benjamin Eshun, formerly of Hasaacas, who joined on a free transfer.
