Prior to their defeat in the capital, the Sharks were undefeated in their last five league matches and will want to return to winning ways against Medeama.

The Botwekumba are also unbeaten at home this season with three wins and three draws at the Nduom Sports Complex.

They come up against a Medeama side that is desperate to record their second away win of the season.
