Wa All Stars will be looking to reclaim their place at the summit of the Ghana Premier League when they host Bechem United at the Wa Park on Sunday.
The second-placed Wa-based side will go top of the division if they emerge victorious at home to the Hunters from the Brong Ahafo region.
The Northern Blues have their fate in their own hands after Hearts of Oak’s Sogakope nightmare on Saturday in the early kick-off game.
The division’s most nomadic side lost the corresponding fixture 2-1 in Bechem but their current run of 1 defeat in the last 20 home matches slides the table in favour of Wa All Stars.
Bechem United could slip into the red zone with defeat at the Wa Park, having previously lost 2 of the 3 trips to the Upper west.
The MTN FA Cup finalist eased past another Wa-based side, in Wa Rockets FC, but will have to up their game if they are to avoid another glaring defeat on Sunday.
The visitors have lost 9 of their 12 away ties this season and have kept just 2 clean sheets in the process, a thrilling 0-0 stalemate away to Kumasi Asante Kotoko.
With the return to form of Richard Arthur and the defensive solidity of Ismail Ganiu and Nicolas Mensah, energetic Hafiz Adams has been freed to surge forward.
Statistically, Wa All Stars might just breeze past their desperate visitors in grand style.
The host have won 2 of the 3 previous home ties and are unbeaten at home all season, last defeat at home is now exactly 364 days.
Wa All Stars have kept 18 clean sheets in the last 20 home fixtures, while their 1 goal conceded in the last 1,080 minutes at the Wa Park cannot escape mention.
Kennedy Ashia remains the last Ghanaian player as an opposition to find the back of the net at the Malik Jabir Park that has Richard Ofori on top of his game all season.
With first spot up for grabs, Bechem United will have to prepare mentally for a painful 90 minutes on the pitch.
