Ghana Premier League matchday 19 preview

Matchday 19 of the Ghanaian league kicks off with just one match on Saturday at 16:00 CET as Real Tamale host Legon Cities. The teams are just one and three points above the drop zone respectively so it is a big game for both. The home side have failed to win in their last five matches while Legon Cities drew 1-1 with Hearts of Oak last time out. 

Sunday sees a further five encounters take place all at 16:00 CET. Bibiani Gold Stars take on sixth placed Medeama, fifth play fourth as King Faisal face Aduana Stars, Karela are up against Ashanti Gold and Accra Lions play host to second placed side Accra Great Olympics. Great Olympics are on 31 points, nine off leaders Asante Kotoko and one ahead of Bechem United and Aduana Stars. 

There is just one match on Monday at 16:00 CET as Eleven Wonders will look to get out of the relegation zone with victory over Berekum Chelsea. Eleven Wonders are now just one point off safety after a 1-4 win at Ashanti Gold last time out. Will they get the points again on Monday against a Berekum Chelsea team who are in fine form with 10 points out of the last 12 available?

Tuesday afternoon (16:00 CET) sees the game of the matchday as third placed Bechem United play against leaders Asante Kotoko. Bechem were beaten 1-0 at Medeams last time out while a brace from Franck Mbella in the last 15 minutes gave Asante Kotoko a 2-0 victory over Dreams FC last weekend. He is the top scorer in the league with 13 goals this season, three ahead of Aduana Stars' Bright Adjei. 

Matchday 19 rounds off with Sulley Muntari's Hearts of Oak facing off against second from bottom West African Football on Wednesday at 16:00 CET. We have just passed the halfway point and that means games start becoming even more important. It should be a thrilling weekend of action!
