Ghana Premier League Preview: Great Olympics vs Wa All Stars- Wonder Club under pressure to win against erratic champions
Great Olympics

Great Olympics have every reason to be disappointed after falling to a 1-0 away defeat at Aduana Stars last two weeks making it three losses in a succession. 

Two of the losses happened at home, 0-4 to Tema Youth FC and 0-1 to Liberty Professionals.

The team were in high spirits after a four matches unbeaten streak previously which handed them hopes in their fight against relegation.

The Wonder Club have to take advantage of the recent poor run of the defending league champions on Sunday at the Accra sports stadium to enhance them some hope of survival.

Michael Osai is expected to keep the posts once again after making his debut a fortnight ago against Aduana Stars.

Leading marksman Abel Manomey is ruled out since he is nursing an injury.

Wa All Stars are in difficult moments and are looking to get back on track.

A run of just a win in their last seven league matches see them sit 12th on the league table and lose on Sunday will mean they must fight for survival subsequently.

Head coach Enos Kwame Adipah has been relieved off his post following the poor run results.

The Northern Blues failed to make good use of their last home game when they drew 1-1 with Tema Youth FC coming from behind.

Assistant coach Alhaji Mumuni Sokpari will be leading to the capital on Sunday for the match week 21 fixture.

Richard Ofori is available for selection after returning from the USA where the Black Stars played Mexico and the former in international friendlies.
