WAFA SC

Leaders WAFA SC must beat Bechem United at home to ensure they remain on course for a historic league title on Wednesday.

Even if the Hunters are hoping they can cause an upset, the hosts are thinking how they can extend their home invincibility to forty games to consolidate their position on the log.

However, it is general knowledge how dangerous is when a favorite underestimates an underdog.

The Academy Boys had their last league fixture postponed due to the inclusion of seven of players from the side in the Black Stars.

Razak Abalora, Musah Nuhu, Gideon Waja, Richmond Nii Lamptey, Daniel Lomotey, Caleb Amankwah and Majeed Ashimeru are all available for Wednesday's match.

Left back Abdul Wahab Ibrahim is out of the game since he is still on trials at Red Salzburg in Austria.

Bechem United seem to be having a rollercoaster season full of ups and downs despite lying 7th on the league table.

Over the weekend, they whipped Hearts of Oak at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour park with a 1-0 victory.

Enough morale booster for them ahead of their trip to the difficult grounds of the Academy outfit.

The visitors will be welcoming back right back Eric Owusu Gyamfi in the team for Wednesday's fixture.

Centre back Alfred Nelson is sidelined for the game in midweek since he is a nursing an injury.
