Nations FC will be at home to table-toppers Medeama SC in a classic winner-takes-all duel of game week twenty-one of the Ghana Premier League at the Abrankese.
From a team that was on the brink of winning the league last season, things have become very dire for them as they have had to change managers. Frimpong Manso replaced Kasim Mingle with the Swedru All Blacks now.
The home team sits 12th on the table with 24 points from 20 matches, having managed just one win in their last five outings (D2, L2), including a 2-0 defeat away to FC Samartex 1996 last weekend. They have scored 15 goals and conceded 18 so far this season.
The Abrankese-based team has been rocked by a series of January exits: Faisal Charwetey (FK Bylis -Albania), Ebenezer Offei (Nico United – Botswana), Boris Djangone (Extension Gunners – Botswana), Vladimir Vanderpuye (True Democracy), and Samuel Osei Kuffour (Aduana Stars)
It goes without saying that they have replaced them with the acquisition of prolific forward Alex Aso, Wilt Commodore, Joseph Effah, and others.
Medeama have been the team inform this season, racing to an unprecedented eight-point gap at the summit of the table gives them every right to hope that they can win the league as they did in the 2022/23 season.
They have gone 17 games unbeaten in the league, giving them a whopping mass of confidence heading into Friday’s fixture against Nations FC.
Tanko’s side have ammassed 43 points, scored 30 goals, and conceeding 12 times from 20 games, a worthy opponent for a cliffhanger.
Prediction : Nations 1-1 Medeama SC
