The destiny of Great Olympics could be well defined against West African Football Academy this Sunday at the Accra sports stadium.

The capital club are one of the few clubs yet to record a win in the new season after four games after losing 3-1 to Bechem United on Thursday in an outstanding fixture.

Wonder club of Ghana football are expected to take advantage of the abysmal away performances of the Academy side to change their current fortunes by winning for the first time this season.

Attacking duo Abel Manomey and Osah Bernardino Tetteh are set for a return to the team this weekend.

They missed their game against Bechem United. Both players have been involved in three  goals this term.

This match has come early for the Academy outfit as they hope to capitalize on the patchy form of Great Olympics to end their travelling woes in the premier league.

West African Football Academy are chasing a first away win in the top flight since 25th April, 2015.

They have gone blank in twenty one games as the visitors.

Danish trainer Klavs Rasmussen has boosted squad for the trip to the capital since influential midfielder Majeed Ashimeru has recovered fully from a knock he sustained against Aduana Stars last Sunday.

They came from behind to share the spoils with the league leaders.
