Bechem United will get a nice chance to record their second home win and a second win in the entire campaign when they host leaders Ashanti Gold SC at the Babayara stadium this Saturday.

The match has been rescheduled to come on in Kumasi for a live TV broadcast.

The Hunters aim at maintaining their form against the Elephants to get back to winning ways.

They have not lost to Ashanti Gold SC in any premiership fixture since February, 2015 with two wins and three draws in the process.

The Hunters are coming into the game holding a defeat from last Wednesday. They were beaten 3-1 by newbies Eleven Wonders FC in a regional derby in Techiman.

Isaac Asiamah Badu will require full fitness before he can make his first appearance on Saturday. He is recovering from an injury.

Moro Salifu is ruled out of this fixture due to a long term injury he is treating.

Ashanti Gold SC have the chance to make it four straight wins in a new premier league season for the first time in so many years.

It is an uphill task for the Elephants to climb since they have never won a league game when the Hunters are the hosts.

They are the only side with 100% record this campaign after beating all the opponents faced this season.

Not even in the title winning 2014/2015 season were the Gold and Black outfit able to record four successive victories in the start.

Newly promoted Karela United FC are the recent victims of the Ashanti Gold SC onslaught. They were pipped 1-0 at the Len Clay stadium in the midweek.

Daniel Gozar has returned to full training and is likely to be part of the team traveling to Kumasi to face Bechem United on the weekend.

Charles Akonnor has every player available for selection for Saturday's fixture.
