After securing an important away win over city rivals, Asante Kotoko, in the match-week 23 to extend their winning streak to three and maintain their second place on the log, Nations FC will be welcoming Great Olympics to the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex for an epic fixture on Friday.
Great Olympics are making a trip to the Garden City for the game as a rejuvenated side after a 4-2 emphatic win over Aduana Star to returning to winning ways after playing three consecutive games without a victory.
Match Preview
Nations FC willl be looking forward for a revenge against Olympics when the two sides battle it out in Friday's fixture after losing narrowly in the first round of the 2023-24 Ghana Premier League season. A late penalty converted by Solomon Twene helped Great Olympics to bag all the three maximum points in their fire-ever meeting in the Ghanaian top-flight.
With their unbeaten home record, Coach Kassim Mingle's side are poised to set a new Premier League record and defeating 'Oly Dade' is their target to extend it to 13 games in their debut top-flight campaign. Nations FC are just two points adrift league leaders, FC Samartex, who currently sit on top of the log with 42 points and a win over Olympics tomorrow will keep their title winning hopes alive.
It has been another difficult season for Great Olympics which forced the club to part ways with Coach Annor Walker and since the arrival of Jimmy Cobblah in the dugout of the club, the performances remains uninspiring and a defeat to Nations FC will see the Capital based club slipping from the 11th position to sit above the drop zone.
However, Jimmy Cobblah is highly optimstic of maintaining the Premier League status of Great Olympics despite the setbacks since the start of the 2023-24 season's campaign and has also disclosed that his side will be leaving no stone unturned against Nations FC in this encounter.
