All eyes will be in Dormaa as Aduana play side host Hearts of Oak in th game of the round. Both teams are unbeaten but the Dormaa side are full of confidence after picking three wins in their opening four. Consistency has been the main success tool for Aduana as opposed to Hearts of Oak who are now gaining an identity under Scottish coach Frank Nuttall
Asante Kotoko could record a third straight win this weekend at their favored Kumasi Sports Stadium when they come face to face with Elmina Sharks. The Porcupine Warriors have accounted for Bechem United and Ashantigold without conceding and are pretty confident of adding the Elmina side to their scalp. However, the new entrants will not be slayed without a fight after picking two points on their travel so far which both involved comebacks.
League champions Wa All Stars have picked up a point out of 6 so far which is in sharp contrast to their six out of six last season. They have a chance to record their first win at home to Inter Allies who only won their first game last week.
Bechem United will host poor travelers Liberty Professionals while Ebusua Dwarfs will hope to return to winning ways against Medeama. Berekum Chelsea are at the Golden City Park to play Ashantigold.
Great Olympics play the second of their three scheduled matches at the Accra Sports Stadium against WAFA who are assured of thrills and a fanciful display.
