Who would have guessed in their wildest dreams that after 6 rounds of games, King Faisal, will be at the summit of the table, pipping Kotoko, Hearts of Oak, and Aduana Stars?
Well, as things stand, the Kumasi-based club are on a fairytale run having dispatched Kotoko, a fierce regional rival, last weekend, in a 5 goals thriller spearheaded by Ibrahim Zubairu, who seems to have garnered some fans of the Ghana Premier League.
This weekend, they have the opportunity to continue their fine form in the league against Elmina Sharks at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
In 3 games at home, the host has picked 7 from 9 points, which should bolster their confidence heading into that tricky encounter against Elmina Sharks, who are also coming into this duel following their victory over Kobby Mensah’s Karela United at the Ndoum Park, a week ago.
If there’s anything, King Faisal can capitalize on; it’s the fact that, the away side has picked only a point in their last 3 game travels in the ongoing league.
The deadly duo of Ibrahim Zubairu and Ibrahim Osman have combined efforts to score 7 out of the hosts 9 goals in the league, at their lethal best any team will find them problematic to tame.
Elmina Sharks lie 9th on the log with 7 points, yet to pick a win against the ‘Insha Allahu’ boys in 3 games between the pair that could all change if they can above their weight levels to upset the odds against the host over the weekend.
PREDICTIONS: KING FAISAL HEARTS 2-0 ELMINA SHARKS
