Fresh off a draw stalemate last weekend, Dreams FC travel across the north on Sunday and face Karela United at Aliu Mahama Stadium.
Dreams FC' season - and outgone gaffer Karim Zito - who joined Asante Kotoko job - was on the line, most especially in the first round of the league. However, Zito was able to finally roll out - bouncing back strongly - recording five straight wins from Matchweek 24, beating the likes of Hearts of Oak, Bibiani Gold Stars, Heart of Lions and Bechem United.
Match Preview
Sunday's hosts have endured a torrid campaign. They sit 15th in the Premier League table with 32 points and are eight points worse off than their upcoming opponents. Dreams FC occupy ninth on 40 points.
The Still Believe are well in the mix, no doubt, although they're no more in a mightily intriguing FA Cup laden as teams starved of silverware shockingly ensured the giants crashed out.
Karela United possible starting lineup (4-2-3-1):
Karim (GK); Fatawu (C), Abubakar, Adamu, Asigre, Gariba, Ibrahim, Kunate, Latif, Nurudeen, Yaya
Dreams FC possible starting lineup (4-3-3):
Aseako (GK); Esso (C), Ahiable, Asante, Aziz, Bartels, Guede, Yaro, Kofi, Izdeen, Salifu
We say: Karela United 1-1 Dreams FC
Dreams were put through their paces (1-1) last Sunday while Karela managed a scoreless draw stalemate.
The Pride and Passion are tough to beat on home soil, and Dreams will hope Karela will come into the match and make loads of mistakes, obviously, it might not happen this Sunday.
This should be a back-and-forth contest with a fresher Dreams FC, who will have their assistant Wilfred Dormon in the dugout and their shrewd work in all phases bound to trouble the hosts.
However, the Pride and Passion' improved availability and newfound depth should aid their ability to fight back in the contest.
Kick-off for this match is scheduled at 15:00 GMT.
