AshantiGold SC will have to overcome Wa All Stars  as they search for a home victory after going winless in their last four matches.

They host Wa All Stars at the Len Clay stadium on Sunday in the Ghana Premier League.

The Miners trekked to Tema to gain one point against Inter Allies FC on Wednesday.

They are one point ahead of the drop on the league table.

Fatau Dauda is expected to keep his place as the number one after a splendid show in the midweek to help Ashanti Gold SC get a draw.

Young winger Paul Abakah Nkrumah has not recovered from his injury which rules him out of the match.

Wa All Stars shared the spoils with WAFA at home after they were held to a 1-1 stalemate in the league last Wednesday at Wa Park.

Wa All Stars make the trip to Obuasi with the absence of defender Issahaku Konda and midfielder Mohammed Awudu Amando.  Both are in the Ghana U20 camp in Ethiopia

Joseph Adjei is still nursing an injury.  He has been out of action for close to a month now.
