Clubs to battle for league survival

Premier League logo Premier League logo

As the First Capital Plus Premier league ends this weekend, the battle to avoid relegation from the top flight will move another notch as Olympics engage league champions Ashantigold at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday.

Only Brong Ahafo United are already relegated and the final round of matches will determine which other two teams will join to the First Division.

With the destination of the title already decided, there will be all to play for on the final day of the season as big clubs fight to maintain top flight status.

Though the Miners have sealed the 2014/2015 title, the three points against relegation threatened Olympics is much needed to wrap up their jubilation for the season with the host desperately needed all points to survive.

The dream of Olympics who are lying 15th on the log with 37 points after losing to Heart of Lions over the weekend will be relying on the results from other matches for qualification.

Out of the 29 matches played, Olympics managed 10 wins, seven draws and face a side with 11 loses against a side with 15 victories, 7 draws and 7 loses. The former will be counting on home advantage to edge past the champions.

At the Baba Yara Stadium, Asante Kotoko will take on second placed Aduana Stars who have no relegation concerns whilst WAFA who displayed a fine form must guarantee their stay in the league with a win over Heart of Oak at the Sogakope Park.

Elsewhere, FA Cup lords Medeama will be seeking to escape the drop when they welcome Inter Allies at the T & A Park whereas 12th-placed New Edubiase United engage ninth-placed Heart of Lions at the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium.

Liberty Professionals will play Sekondi Hasaacas at the Carl Reindorf Park whilst Bechem United face bottom side B.A United at the Bechem Park, with sixth-placed Berekum Chelsea playing Wa All Stars at the Golden City Park.
