Ghana Premier League Preview: AshantiGold vrs Sekondi Hasaacas

AshantiGold AshantiGold

Ashanti Gold SC will take on relegation battling Sekondi Hasaacas at the Len Clay stadium on Sunday in match which could determine the fight at the bottom.

The Elephants' rejuvenated form was halted by Aduana Stars last week at Dormaa.

They are to recover from the slump with a win against the Westerners.

Last season champions have every player available for selection ahead of Sunday's match with the exception of Joseph Ato Bissah who is out of the country.

Sekondi Hasaacas are approaching with high spirits of survival in the Ghana Premier League this season.

A win against Ashanti Gold SC will be very vital in their fight for safety.

They welcome back Emmanuel Ankobeah into the team for the trip to the mining town of Obuasi to face the Miners.

Injury kept him out of Hasmal's last two fixtures.

They still search for their first win as guests in the premiership.
