Ebusua Dwarfs

Ebusua Dwarfs will have their home unbeaten record under serious threat as they face reinvigorated Asante Kotoko SC at the Cape Coast stadium on Wednesday.

The Mysterious Club have won seven out of their nine matches at home this campaign and are eyeing the eighth in the midweek.

The Crabs go into the crucial encounter with a morale booster from their last league game.

They held Berekum Chelsea to a 1-1 stalemate last Sunday.

Stephen Bentil is suspended for the Wednesday's big clash. He was sent off against Berekum Chelsea on the weekend.

Right back Isaac Kwain returns from suspension and is available for selection against the Porcupine Warriors.

Asante Kotoko SC want to build on their recent form to pick at least a point at the Cape Coast stadium this Wednesday to keep their title hopes alive.

The Porcupine Warriors are unbeaten in their last five fixtures going into this game which enough motivation for them.

They are eight points adrift off the summit of the league table after beating Wa All Stars 2-1 last Saturday.

English trainer Steven Polack has tasted no defeat in all competitions since taking over as the head coach of the Ashanti giants.

Obed Owusu and Awal Mohammed have been declared fit for the midweek match after picking up knocks on the weekend.

Saddick Adams and Abass Mohammed remain doubtful for the crucial game with injuries.
