Great Olympics

Great Olympics will begin their second round campaign at home when Berekum Chelsea visit them at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday

They finished in the drop zone at the end of the first half of the season and will be hoping to start on a good note on this weekend as they seek to intensify their fight to avoid relegation.

The Wonder Club will go three matches without a loss if they avoid a lose against the Blues this Saturday.

A win could also see them win back to back at home first for the first this term.

Kwame Boateng, Emmanuel Asante and Alhassan Aminu will be making their debuts for the capital club if they are selected by Swedish trainer Tom Strand.

There are no injuries to worry about.

Berekum Chelsea are making a trip to the Greater Accra with the intentions of ending their poor away run with a win.

They have no win in their last twenty six journeys in the Ghanaian top flight.

The Blues will travel without English coach Steve Pollack who has joined giants Asante Kotoko SC.

Technical director Randolph Armah will lead the team on Saturday to face Great Olympics.

Last Sunday, they beat regional rivals BA United 2-0 to progress to the round of sixteen of the MTN FA Cup.

Club's top scorer Stephen Sarfo, goalkeeper John Moosie and stalwart defender Nicholas Opoku are expected back in the team for the trip to the capital.
