Ghana Premier League Preview: Bechem United vs Great Olympics- Both sides need win to be safe
Ghana Premier League side Bechem United

Bechem United have been playing hot and cold throughout the entire season which can be regarded as a failure for them as a last day result can only save them from the drop. 

The Hunters will welcome another relegation threatened side, Great Olympics at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour park on the weekend.

Sunday's match day fixture will thus have a much greater significance for the host who are desperate to salvage all three points being just a single point above the red zone.

They could climax the season with a mid table finish if they are able to beat the Wonder Boys.

Defensive duo Eric Owusu Gyamfi and Alfred Nelson are out of the game due to injuries.

Great Olympics are traveling to Bechem United with loads of hope after amassing ten points from their last four premiership matches.

Three straight victories have handed the Wonder Club a lifeline of avoiding relegation at the end of the season.

They remain 15th on the league log with 36 points with just three points separating them from safety.

Nothing apart from a win on Sunday will save them from the drop depending on  results from other match venues.

Godwin Attram has tasted no loss since returning to the club as the head coach.

A motivation for him going into Sunday's game.
