High-flying King Faisal are favourites for the points against Elmina Sharks on Sunday in the Ghana Premier League.

Faisal are riding on a crest of wave after claiming the spoils in the Garden City derby against an unbeaten Asante Kotoko side at the Baba Yara Stadium.

Youngster Zubeiru Ibrahim netted a hat-trick as the 'Insha Allah' Boys outclassed the Porcupine Warriors and sealed a 3-2 victory.

Head coach Nurudeen Amadu revealed in his post-match:  "I think the secret is Hard-work. It's as a result of Hard-work in training. When you are playing a game like this you have to be cautious and stick to the game plan.

''We knew we can't match them on possession. So we had to keep our organization and hit them on the run. I think it worked well for us.''

In the build up to this assignment, Faisal defeated lower tier side Creative Soccer Academy 2-0 in a friendly at the Nana Okese Park in Ejisu

Their goals scored by David Oppong Afranie and Richard Nettey.

Elmina Sharks have a new coach in Mallam Yahaya, the ex-Ghana international, who has replaced another Ghana legend Nii Odartey Lamptey.

They are tenth on the league table but have lost their last two away matches to Bechem United (2-0) and Eleven Wonders (3-1).
