Ashanti Gold SC are in the form of their lives with an 100% record in their last five premier league fixtures. 

The Elephants are primed at making it six consecutive wins when welcome newbies Elmina Sharks FC to the Len Clay stadium on Sunday.

The Gold and Black outfit claimed a statement 2-0 away victory over Bolga All Stars in the midweek to boost up the confidence ahead this weekend's fixture.

Daniel Gozar has scored four goals in his last three appearances and is expected to make the difference for the hosts once again.

Theophilous Nyame is making a comeback to the team from suspension whereas Appiah McCarthy remains on the sidelines with an injury.

Elmina Sharks FC defied all odds to stun Liberty Professionals at the Carl Reindorf park on Wednesday with a 1-0 scoreline.

That saw the newcomers record their first away win and the first back to back wins at the same time of the season as their fight for survival continues.

Only two points are separating them and the relegation and at least a draw from Sunday's game could prove very vital in their quest for safety.

Yaw Acheampong will be at the dugout to direct affairs as the head coach for the Sea Animals against a club he played for in the 90s.
