Okwawu United – Sekondi Hasaacas MTN FA Cup Game To Go Ahead

GN Bank Division One outfit, Okwawu United will hope to cause a minor upset when they host Sekondi Hasaacas of the Ghana Premiership in their round of 16 tie of the MTN FA Cup competition on Sunday.

The game will be played at the Nkawkaw Park, and, it is set to go ahead after earlier moves by the hosts to pull out of the competition.

At home, United will be favourites to win this one as they have been very strong at the Nkawkaw Park this season in the Division One League (DOL), winning all but one of their matches.

Hasaacas have been very poor travelers in the Ghanaian game for quite some time now, it will find it difficult to produce a result against the DOL high-flyers.

United are chancing a place in the top-flight league next season, and, will be high on confidence as they head into this battle.

Hasaacas have lost all their away games in the Ghana Premier League (GPL) this season, and, it will be interesting to see where they will draw inspiration from as they visit traditionally one of the most difficult venues in Ghana football.

GPL Match-Day Eight Preview: Aduana Stars – Sekondi Hasaacas

Aduana Stars will look to record their third home win of the season when they welcome Sekondi Hasaacas to the Nana Agyemang Badu II Park, Dormaa tomorrow.

They started the season on a very poor note, losing their opening three games, but, a change in technical direction has seen them gain some momentum as they have claimed up the ladder and sit in 12^th position with seven points.

Also, they are one of the most formidable sides at home, and, with Hasaacas being one of the poor travelers, the home side will feel confident of collecting maximum points.

Coach Aristica Coiaba and his charges will look to register their third home win of the season and boost their scoring record against a side that has let in nine goals in just three away games.

Hasaacas have lost all their three away games and the prospects of them ending that run does not look good as they have also failed to score in any of those matches.

It will therefore be a huge surprise if they return back to Sekondi with anything out of this game despite them winning their last two league games.

Last season, both won their respective home games 2-0.

GPL Preview: Sekondi Hasaacas – AshantiGold SC

Defending Ghana Premier League (GPL) champions, AshantiGold SC will trek to the Sekondi Stadium at Essipong to confront the might of Hasaacas in a Match-Day Four fixture on Sunday.

The Miners are unbeaten in their opening three games of the season as they look to defend the title they won last the end of the last campaign.

They defended very well in holding Asante Kotoko to a goalless draw in their outstanding game in midweek and will need to defend even better as they visit the twin-city of Sekondi-Takoradi.

Coach Bashir Hayford’s side seems to have put the disappointment of going out of the CAF Champions League behind them, and, have started picking up the pieces.

Hasaacas as has been their tradition, win most of their points at home, and will look to keep that norm going with victory in this game.

The home side suffered an embarrassing 0-5 defeat to WAFA in their last game, and, will seek to make amends on Sunday with a win to add to their Match-Day Two success over debutants Techiman City.

They have on paper one of the most fearsome attack in the Ghanaian game at the moment in Eric Bekoe, Ernest Papa Arko and Samuel Afful who all contributed in their 4-2 win over Techiman City in their last home game.

Sekondi Hasaacas Must Improve on Away Form to Survive League

Ghana Premier League (GPL) outfit, Sekondi Hasaacas could face an uphill task to survive this season’s championship if they do not improve on their away performance.

The Westerners were beaten comprehensively by All Stars at Wa in their opening day fixture of the 2015/16 season and even at this early stage of the competition, they are being classified as candidates for relegation.

Last season, they struggled in most of their away games and only survived the season thanks to their home record which eventually ensured that they finished in mid table.

This season could turn up to be a different preposition all together especially so as they had a very low pre-season preparation and at a point, players went on strike for not being paid for over six months.

Hasaacas’ next game is at home to new entrants Techiman City on Saturday at the Essipong Stadium and, this is a must win game for them as they have some tough battles coming up against fierce opposition.

After the Techiman City game, they will visit Sogakope to taste the wrath of inform WAFA with further away games in this first round to come against Asante Kotoko, Aduana Stars, Dreams FC, Hearts of Oak and Bechem United.

On paper, these are tough duels to negotiate for the Sekondi based club, and they will have a lot on their hands in trying to maximize enough points from these games.

Most of their points this season will no doubt be won at home and, they will like to set that off with a win over Techiman City before they encounter further tests against AshantiGold, Berekum Chelsea, Medeama SC, Liberty Professionals, New Edubiase United, Ebusua Dwarfs and Inter Allies.

This is surely a tough call for Hasaacas and we wait to see how they confront these games before we head into the crucial second round to determine whether they will survive the league or not.

The task is on Coach Basigi and the rest of his technical team to prove that they will be up to the task of keeping Hasaacas in the league.
