Ghana Premier League Preview: WAFA SC vs Bechem United- Academy Boys out to make amends
West African Football Academy

West African Football Academy are tipped to pounce on their home form to outwit Bechem United at the Sogakope Park on Saturday.

The Academy side succumbed to a 1-0 loss to Inter Allies FC last Wednesday courtesy a very late goal.

A win will take them to thirty points.

They have sold left back Gideon Mensah to Red Bull Salzburg in Austria.

He is the second WAFA SC player to join after team mate Samuel Tetteh.

Charles Boateng will not play part in Saturday's league game due to his involvement in the national U20 team.

Bechem United were held to a 1-1 draw on Wednesday by Ashanti Gold SC.

They failed to make their performance against Asante Kotoko last week count in the midweek.

Young midfielder Yaw Ackah is suspended for Saturday's match.

He was given the marching orders against Ashanti Gold SC last Wednesday after a second yellow card.

Amos Acheampong, Ernest Barfo and Aminu Mohammed have recovered from their respective injuries and are available for selection on Saturday.
