Division One League enters its sixth week

The National Division One League enters its sixth-week at all centres on Wednesday and Thursday respectively.

With only three matches to end the abridged League and to determine which teams qualify for the national middle league, all the teams would be seeking to record convincing wins to either escape relegation or attempt to play in the premiership.

One of the attractive pairings is the encounter between exciting King Solomon against beleaguered Tudu Mighty Jets. The well-built boys of Solomon have showed some class in their previous matches and playing against Jets who have starting putting the pieces together in Zone 3A could simply be mouth-watering at the Oda Park on Wednesday.

Ade Coker's A.C Olympiakos would be seeking to recover from a steep disciplinary action taken against them by the GFA for fielding an unqualified player when they come up against Akwatia Diamond Stars at the Ho Park.

Great Afianya United would sort it out with Alhaji Bimbo's Midtjilland at the Legon Park while Oheneba Charles' Kwaebibirem welcome Sportnet at the Koforidua Park.

Seven United and Real Sportive face each other in an all Tema affair at the Tema Sports Stadium to round it up in Zone 3A.

Arch rivals Iron Fighters and Swedru All Blacks would open the encounter in Zone 2B when they clash at the Cape Coast Park.

Judging from the level of rivalry that has characterised the two teams in the last years, nothing less than a fierce game should be anticipated.

The game between Sekondi Eleven Wise and Odupong Stars at the Swedru Park would be another exciting encounter, Bafana Bafana lock horns with Cape Coast Abusua Dwarfs at the Winniba while Vipers come face-to-face BRM in Sakondi.

At Bibiani, ex-premier league campaigners, Obuasi Adansiman clash with Kumasi Cornerstone while Amansie United meet Napoleon Stars at Len Clay Stadium.

Gold Stars look favourite against Kaaseman at the Kumasi Sports Stadium, Krofrom versus GAG Roos, Sarmartex lock horns with White Eagles at Pretea and Berkwai Parks respectively.

Teshi Great Mariners (Ghapoha) need to lift up their game against Volta Warriors at the Koforidua Park to put their dream of re-entering the premiership on truck. Exciting Ho Vora would also want to add Banana Inn Stay Cool to their list of victims when the two sides meet the Tema Park.

Zone 3B league leaders Hearts of Lions who suffered their fist defeat last week play Khalid in Accra, Mighty Royals versus Freedom Stars at Dawu and Delorm Royals clash with Home Stars at Legon.
