Dreams FC

Dreams FC will be hoping to bounce back from their first defeat of the campaign to Hearts of Oak last weekend when they host fellow newcomers Karela United FC at the Dawu park this Sunday.

The Believers will be recording three home victories on a row for the second time in the history of the elite division by beating the team from Nzema Aiyinase.

Despite losing their last fixture, their start in the premiership is regarded a good one as returnees.

They have seven points so far in the competition and are trailing the leaders by just three points.

Zuberu Sharani has been the man to get all six points from their two home games this term for the Believers as he scored the only goals in the back to back home wins.

The talented forward is a nominee for the best player of the month of March award.

James Wiafe has started gym work on the road to full recovery. He remains out this weekend's game.

Captain and playmaker Leonard Owusu is also on the sidelines with an injury.

Karela United FC's empathic win last weekend was met with relief because it ended a 3 game winless streak and there was a real danger the team was bound to struggle.

But the win eased tensions on the head coach Johnson Smith and the club will feel that another 3 points could be a possibility when they travel to Dawu to face Dreams FC.

The newbies pummeled Ebusua Dwarfs with a 3-0 scoreline at the CAM park in Nzema Aiyinase to record their first victory of the campaign.

The Pride and Passion team have four points currently.

Failing to pick at least from Sunday's game could see go down on the log to the unwanted zone.

Emmanuel Osei Baffour has still not recovered fully from his injury to be able to mark his debut for the newcomers.

Godfred Saka is also out of this clash with an injury he suffered in their 1-1 stalemate at home with Eleven Wonders FC.

Emmanuel Ocran is also not available for selection on Sunday.
