Aduana FC coach Aristică Cioabă has set his sights on ending his side’s winless streak against FC Samartex.

The Premier League champions will host the Timber Boys at Nana Agyemang Badu I Park on Sunday, February 1, 2026, in their Matchday 21 fixture.

Buoyed by a 2-0 triumph over Swedru All Blacks last weekend, Aduana are eager to carry that momentum into the encounter.

However, the Dormaa-based side have struggled against Samartex in recent meetings, failing to claim victory in their last two home clashes.

"Yes, we know we've never beaten them in the league, and they've won their last two visits here. That's exactly why focus and discipline are non-negotiable. One lapse, one mistake, and you're punished.

"We must be switched on from the first minute. If we stay focused and execute our plan, the past will not matter," Cioabă told the club's media.

The game is scheduled to kick off at 15:00 GMT.
