2021/22 Ghana Premier League: Week 5 Match Preview - King Faisal vs Medeama SC

Published on: 26 November 2021

King Faisal Babes will host Medeama SC in an explosive match day-5 fixture of the Ghana Premier League in Kumasi on Sunday. 

The 'Insha Allah' Boys will be eager to return to winning formula after losing 1-0 at Berekum Chelsea last week.

That was the first defeat of the season for the Kumasi-based side after an explosive start to life in the 2021-22 Ghana Premier League season.

Despite the blip in Berekum, they outplayed and dominated their opponent to give a clear signal about the current form of the side.

Faisal will be seeking to keep the momentum when they tackle Medeama in a crunch tie on Sunday at the Baba Yara Stadium.

On loan Ibrahim Osman has been lethal for the Green and Whites so far and he is expected to lead Faisal again on the weekend.

Osman provided the assist in the opening day 1-0 win and also scored twice in their massive 3-1 away win over Aduana Stars at Dorma Ahenkro.

Nurudeen Amadu will have a full squad available for selection for Sunday's match in the Garden City.

Medeama recorded their first win of the season after beating Karela United 2-0 in a rescheduled fixture at the Akoon Park on Monday.

The Mauve and Yellow have endured a difficult start to life, losing their opening match 4-0 at Bechem United before drawing 1-1 at home to Bibiani Gold Stars.

They drew goalless at Techiman Eleven Wonders  and only bagged their first win of the season after the win over their regional rivals.

Interim coach Umar Abdul Rabi is expected to assemble a crack team capable of causing problems for King Faisal.

There is still no signs of the availability of midfield star Rashid Nortey - who is still down with an injury.

However, striker Prince Opoku Agyemang is expected to return after missing the win over Karela due to a minor injury.

It's expected to be an exciting match at the Baba Yara Stadium.
