WAFA – Sahara Football https://www.saharafootball.net News on the Ghana Premier League and Ghana Football Wed, 12 May 2021 08:57:16 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.3 https://www.saharafootball.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/cropped-ZULU-32x32.png WAFA – Sahara Football https://www.saharafootball.net 32 32 GPL Match Preview and Prediction: Medeama vs WAFA https://www.saharafootball.net/gpl-match-preview-prediction-medeama-vs-wafa/ https://www.saharafootball.net/gpl-match-preview-prediction-medeama-vs-wafa/#comments Wed, 12 May 2021 08:57:16 +0000 https://www.saharafootball.net/?p=29244 GPL Match Preview and Prediction: Medeama vs WAFA

Last week’s matchday twenty-three (23) saw Medeama SC lost some grounds on their title ambitions when they failed to score past Liberty Professionals at the Sogakope Red Bull Arena. 



To some extent, the morale in camp would be at a low but the onus lies on the head coach, Yaw Preko to light up the playing body spirits when they play Sogakope based side, WAFA at the Akoon Park. 

With Medeama SC heading into this duel, their home invincibility should give them the edge over their weekend opponents.

The Mauve and Yellow side have won their last five games convincingly, which has aided their point accumulation at home to 27 points.

The likes of Prince Agyemang, Ahmed Toure, and Zakaria Mumuni have been impressive since joining up with the squad aiding in twelve goals in as many matches that the trio have played together. 

WAFA SC on the other hand, bruised following their first home loss in over six years against title ambitious side, Great Olympics will give this game their all knowing that a win will boost them up to 6th on the log if other results switch up in their favor.

Coach Prosper Narteh and his boys have since picked twelve (12) point playing away from home and if they don’t play well beyond expectations they won’t be able to add up to their two previous victories over the home side having lost four times and drawing two in eight games that they have engaged the two-time FA Cup champions.

Predictions: Medeama SC 2-0 WAFA

WAFA’s Lawrence Agyekum reveals secret to victory over Bechem United https://www.saharafootball.net/wafas-lawrence-agyekum-reveals-secret-victory-bechem-united/ https://www.saharafootball.net/wafas-lawrence-agyekum-reveals-secret-victory-bechem-united/#comments Mon, 12 Apr 2021 08:05:29 +0000 http://www.saharafootball.net/?p=29056 WAFA’s Lawrence Agyekum reveals secret to victory over Bechem United

WAFA played host to Bechem United at the Sogakope Red Bull Arena in a match where few chances were created amongst the two sides but in the end, a Lawrence Agyekum goal handed the home side all three maximum points on the day.



The home club went ahead in the first half and had to play above their weight levels to preserve their slender lead, according to the mercurial midfielder, Lawrence Agyekum, whose goal did the trick for his side attributed it to their ability to stay disciplined and not lose concentration after going ahead in the game.

“We were very disciplined throughout the game. Though we had a goal in the first half, we were able to keep our concentration until the end of the game. Both clubs exhibited a very good performance but it’s only one team that gets away with the three points which we did.” he told Saharafootball.net

The highly-rated potential is slowly growing into a wild beast in the heart of midfield for coach Prosper Narteh, who has since deployed him on 14 separate occasions with 2 goals to his credit.

Meanwhile, Agyekum is confident that he will keep on churning good performances anytime he takes to the pitch.

WAFA are up to 10th on the log and will travel away to Elmina Sharks who were battered and dispatched by Liberty Professionals over the weekend at the Sogakope Red Bull Arena.

WAFA sent strong signals in week 11 of the ongoing Ghana Premier League 2020-21 season when they dispatched Liberty Professionals by 5-0 goals at the Sogakope Red Bull Arena.



This result by any virtue should send shivers down the spine of anyone coming to town, next up on the list is Dreams FC.

The “Still believe” side are slowly picking up the pace in the ongoing league under new coach Vladislav Viric, players are responding to tactics and results are trickling in bit by bit, managing a 2-2 draw over the weekend against Elmina Sharks.

They have since picked 4 points in away turfs, the likes of Joseph Esso (4), Paul Okraku (3), would need to improve their goal scoring traits if they are to win or pick anything in their clash against WAFA.

The home side might have lost Daniel Lomotey (8) to ES Setiff, Tunisia but Augustine Boakye (4) is slowly carving a niche for himself in the central role.

If WAFA win they will improve on their 4th spot on the log with 18 points while Dreams will also move up the ladder from their 10th position should the results sway in their favor.

We are prepared for Liberty – WAFA’s Lawrence Agyekum https://www.saharafootball.net/prepared-liberty-wafas-lawrence-agyekum/ https://www.saharafootball.net/prepared-liberty-wafas-lawrence-agyekum/#comments Sat, 30 Jan 2021 08:45:20 +0000 http://www.saharafootball.net/?p=28470 We are prepared for Liberty – WAFA’s Lawrence Agyekum

The Sogakope Red Bull Arena will witness two clubs with a penchant for grooming young talents grill each other hard and well enough for all 3 maximum points in week 11 of the ongoing Ghana Premier League.



The duo clubs have not fared relatively too well, recording contrasting fortunes, the home side are winless in 3 games, a feat they will need to remedy at all cost when they clashed with Dansoman based club.

According to Lawrence Agyekum, who has become a mainstay in Prosper Narteh ‘s side since returning from injury and anchoring the midfield for WAFA has rallied his teammates to do everything for the 3 points as preparations are far advanced.

“We are very well prepared against the Liberty, it’s our home and we definitely have to win.

We haven’t won in our last 3 games so we can’t afford to lose or draw against the Liberty Professionals.

I know they’re much prepared as we are but in the end, we will take the 3 points”

Prosper Narteh has so far pushed his to pick 15 points from 10 matches aiding them to 8th on the log, a win will push them into the top 6 ranks.

Liberty as well are winless in 3 matches (Kotoko, Ebusua Dwarfs, and Dreams) another defeat to WAFA might spell doom for them, as lie 14th with 8 points, they have only managed 2 points in their away conquest.

Both sides have won 4 each of the last 12 fixtures with the other ending in a draw.
