Medeama

Medeama SC lost 3-1 to Asante Kotoko SC last Sunday and are eager to get back on track on Wednesday when they welcome Tema Youth FC to the Tarkwa and Aboso park. 

The Yellow and Mauves are targeting another home win to cushion their fight for a top four finish at the end of the season.

They are lying 8th on the league table and a victory over the Harbour City Boys on Wednesday will take to the 5th position.

Workaholic midfielder Justice Blay is available for midweek's fixture following his return from Togo with the national team B.

Amos Korankye won't be available for selection on Wednesday.

Tema Youth FC after losing 1-2 at home to Ebusua Dwarfs, will be heading to the Tarkwa and Aboso park with intentions picking at least one point.

The Harbour City Boys are desperately in need of the points on Wednesday as they keep on their fight against relegation at end of the season.

They need to avoid a defeat to make sure they don't go back to the drop zone. Currently they are lying 11th on the league table.

Top marksman Joseph Paintsil is returning from an international assignment with the Black Stars B against Togo last Sunday.

First choice goalkeeper Stephen Kwaku Odai is also making comeback into the team for Wednesday's fixture.
