The country’s love – domestic top-flight club football is gradually hitting sky high as the Ghana Premier League (GPL) clock ticks faster.
Match Week Four is nigh and it will be headline with a top of the table clash as two unbeaten sides Dreams FC and Wa All Stars embrace each other at the Dawu Park on Saturday.
Dreams FC announced themselves in the local scene as dreamers, but their output so far goes beyond a dream. Two wins, two clean sheets and a draw are figures clubs making their debut in any top-flight league will be proud of.
Wa All Stars on the other hand did a massive job at the blind side of the media during the off-season, and results are following naturally. They bamboozled Sekondi Hasaacas on the opening day of the day of the season and followed with a win in Dormaa against Aduana Stars that forced Coach Nurudeen Ahmed to relinquish his position.
Coach Adepa took over the team two weeks to the start of the Premier League, and he reckon the pre-season work has produced quality results they have accrued so far.
A win for either side will see them top of the log after the weekend’s fixtures should Hearts of failto pick maximum points in their game.
Team News:
Dreams FC are going into the game without influential midfielder Emmanuel Hayford through suspension.
The former Hearts of Oak man was given a straight red card last Sunday in their league encounter with Inter Allies FC at Tema after a brawl with Lord Ofosuhene.
Godwin Horlali remains doubtful for the league debutants.
Wa All Stars will be missing the services of versatile defender Abdul Ganiu Ismail and Atta Kofi Yeboah after they both sustained injuries in their last league game against Liberty Professionals.
Mohammed Awudu and Wahidu Mumuni are likely replacements for the injured duo.
