Survival Sunday for seven sides

Six of this weekend's penultimate round of Glo Premier League matches will remain crucial in determining the two other relegation places.

A packed fixture list for this Sunday’s round of matches could once again change the positions at foot of the table where Ebusua Dwarfs, Liberty, All Stars, King Faisal, Berekum Arsenals, Mighty Jets and Real Tamale United still remain uncertain about their premiership status with B.A. Stars already relegated.

Clubs caught up in the relegation dogfight sit from the 9th place with 38 points to the 15th position with 32 points.

The survival race dominates the busy weekend with Berekum Chelsea already declared champions, holding a 12-point lead at the summit.

At the Robert Mensah Stadium, Dwarfs would need to beat AshantiGold who are aiming to finish second to escape a possible return to Division One.

Liberty face a tough game in Kumasi where they play Asante Kotoko.

Faisal improved their chances last weekend but would need to do same when they travel to the Dormaa Park where they face former champions Aduana Stars.

Third from bottom, Mighty Jets travel to the Wa Park to play All Stars, who are also involved in the relegation struggles and are two points better than the Jets.

Berekum Arsenals would be away to bottom placed, B.A. Stars at the Coronation Park. The Gunners, who have been hit with a three-game home ban plus fines by the FA's Disciplinary Committee are just a point above the relegation zone.

Real Tamale United risk ending their 30-year top-flight status if they fail to win at the Gyemfis Park against New Edubiase. RTU, have laboured all season and are second from bottom.

In the other fixtures of less significance to the relegation blues, runaway champions, Chelsea will play Heart of Lions at home.

And in Accra, Hearts of Oak welcome Medeama to the Ohene Djan Stadium.
