Ebusua Dwarfs

Ebusua Dwarfs continue their recent surge with the expectation of extending their unbeaten run to seven when they welcome Bechem United on Saturday.

They travelled to Tema to held Inter Allies FC to a 2-2 stalemate after going ahead twice in the game last Wednesday.

The Crabs moved to 7th place after the midweek fixtures.

Key duo Stephen Bentil and Joseph Esso are expected back in the team for Saturday's match. They missed last Wednesday's league match through sickness and suspension respectively.

Left back Dennis Korsah is still out with an injury whilst top scorer Bright Luqman Nurudeen remains doubtful.

Bechem United moved out of the relegation position after recording two straight home wins including last Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Medeama SC.

A lose or draw on Saturday could see them back in the drop zone.

The Hunters are searching for their first away win in the top flight since 4th June, 2014.

They will have to test the might of Ebusua Dwarfs in order to break the unwanted record.

Portuguese trainer Manuel Coelho Zacarias has been reinstated by club and is expected to be at the dugout on Saturday.

He was asked to step aside from his coaching role last week.

Club top scorer Abednego Tetteh is suspended for Saturday's game whereas right back Patrick Cole has been ruled out with an injury.
