2020/21 Ghana Premier League: Week 28 Match Preview - Medeama vs. Karela United

Published on: 03 June 2021

Karela United travel to Medeama for the Western Derby without their talisman Diawisie Taylor at the Akoon Park on Saturday. 

Taylor, 21, has traveled with Ghana's Olympic team for an international friendlies against Japan and South Korea.

The former Gold Stars striker, who is the leading top scorer in the Ghanaian top-flight this season, has opted for the international duty at the expense of his club.

Coach Evans Adotey will have to marshal a strategy without his top striker ahead of the trip to their rivals.

The Pride and Passion  were shell-shocked after drawing 1-1 at home to Great Olympics last week.

The two teams are tied on same 43 points heading into the crucial fixture at the Akoon Park.

Augustine Evans Adotey and his guys have fared really bad in the second round of the season having managed only two victories from nine matches.

Despite the poor run of results recently, Karela have not lost in their last six matches where they have drawn four and won twice.

Medeama have been pissed-poor in recent games, losing the plot in the title race.

They lost 3-0 at Inter Allies last week to heap pressure on coach Yaw Preko amid talks of his imminent dismissal.

The Mauve and Yellows have picked a paltry 4 points from a possible 15 to leave them clutching for straws.

They will also be without striker Abass Mohammed for the crunch tie against the Pride and Passion due to yellow card accumulation.
