All eyes will be on Serrekunda West mini-stadium this weekend for a keenly anticipated Bakau derby clash as the Gambia First Division League enters its Week Five stage.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Clashes between Steve Biko and arch rivals Bakau United never need any added spice, but with the former struggling at the bottom and the latter fighting to regain the top spot they relinquished last weekend, Saturday’s meeting will be an intriguing test. Currently at joint second place, Bakau United, have an edge over their rivals, though both sides will go into the weekend clash on the back of defeats.<\/p>\n

Bakau United saw their good run of form come to a halt after a 1-0 loss to Real de Banjul, while Steve Biko’s frustrating run of three straight draws was further worsened by a one nil loss to Armed Forces. Gathering only three points in four fixtures – a poor result that condemns them to the bottom table – the coach Abdoulie Bojang’s tutored-side Biko would be hoping for a change of fate tomorrow. But they know their best result against the Bakau United side could be a stalemate score if history is to repeat itself.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere on Saturday, Samger would hope to build on to their last weekend 1-0 success over struggling Interior FC when they face joint leaders Armed Forces at the Serrekunda East mini-stadium. Saturday’s final clash will see sixth place Gambia Ports Authority take on 12th place Real de Banjul at the Banjul mini-stadium.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Wallidan will take on Interior at the Serrekunda East mini-stadium, while Brikama United host Africell at the Box Bar mini-stadium. Gamtel and Young Africans, who both won their last fixtures against Bakau United and Africell respectively, will rub shoulders at the Banjul mini-stadium in the final clash of Week Five fixture.<\/p>\n
