New Edubiase United Football Club (NEUFC) are firmly rooted at the foot of the Ghana Premier League (GPL) after the first round of the competition, and, have been tagged as among the favourites for relegation at the end of the campaign.
Of the 15 games they have played this season, they have won three, drawn three and lost nine, and, has 12 points as the sit bottom of the 16-Club competition.
The goal scoring statistics does not also read in their favour as they are yet to hit double figures in the games they have played in the GPL so far.
NEUFC has scored nine goals and let in twice double that number, indicators that suggest that indeed they could be relegated at the end of the campaign if they do not improve on their output in the second round of the competition.
The second round of the season has been scheduled to start on the weekend of 25/26 June, and, United must hit the ground running as early as possible if they are to save their season.
And what they really need to do to save their campaign is not farfetched either and, they should be in the know of this.
Amassing as many points as possible at home will be a key indicator whether they will survive the competition or not. They cannot afford to drop points at the Len Clay Stadium at Obuasi as they did in the first round.
They won only two of their home games; (Berekum Chelsea 2-1 and Ebusua Dwarfs 1-0). They lost to Dreams (0-1) and Aduana Stars (0- 1) and drew 1-1with AshGold, 2-2 with Techiman City and 0-0 with Inter Allies.
These results will have to be improved upon in the second round. They will have home games against Medeama SC, Liberty Professionals, Sekondi Hasaacas, Asante Kotoko, WAFA and Wa All Stars before their season is complete.
Their away form against those they played at home will also need to be good as that is the surest way to be certain that they will play in the top-flight league next season.
The management and technical team of the club therefore has a tough job on their hands in trying to turn around their season and, most importantly, stay up at the end of the campaign.
What they need to do to survive the GPL is clearly spelt out, and, this they should be aware of. The 2012 FA Cup winners surely has a tough job on hand if they want to stay up in the Ghanaian top-flight league after being promoted in the season that ended in 2009.
