After being shellacked 3-0 in Premier League gameweek 10, Nsoatreman and Aduana prepare for battle at the Nana Amoah Koronmansah Park on Saturday, November 16, afternoon, with kickoff at 15:00 GMT.
The Fire Boys stung Karela in a manic Sunday afternoon battle last weekend, while Yaw Acheampong’s men defied the odds to move to the eleventh position (with 11 points) in the league standings.
Match Preview
A Ga ‘wizard’ by the name of Kassim Mingle produced three moments of magic on Sunday afternoon, where Nsoatreman sat aloof as the home team rocked up their defense - dusting them with three superb early (1st, 4th and 10th minutes) goals as they kept the three points in their own yard.
Sharing Aduana’s taste for home victories in the Premier League campaign, the Fire carrier’s astonishingly added Karela to their list of Nana Agyemang Badu Park scalps in gameweek 10, just a couple of weeks (matchday 6) on from putting Dreams FC to the sword in Dormaa.
Yaw Acheampong’s men have huffed and puffed for the all-important victory in recent times as their numbers on the log seems to be extremely surprising.
On the other hand, the Efiri Tete Amanaso’ appalling performance has allowed them to cement 13th place in the standings - same points (11) and two spots beneath Aduana - but an unsightly tally of three wins, two draws from five Premier League home games may increase their spirits slightly before the match on Saturday.
Aduana’s head-to-head record versus Nsoatreman makes for grim reading for the Fire faithful too, as their side have beaten the Amanaso just once, drew one and succumbed to two losses in the four league games they have played against each other.
Nsoatreman possible starting lineup:
Ferdinand (GK), Rahman, Agyemang, Amoo, Anokye, Diyou, Fuseini (C), Issaka, Shaibu, Tsivanyo, Yeboah
Aduana possible starting lineup:
Inusah (GK) (C); Addo, Amoako, Amponsah, Boateng, Duah, Marfo, Obeng, Offei, Sackey, Silas
We say: Nsoatreman 2-2 Aduana
Goals galore at the Nana Amoah Koronmansah has been the theme of the 2024-25 season for Nsoatreman, who are seldom outfought on their own patch and make nets ripple for fun in Nsoatre.
An Aduana side struggling for consistency on the road should therefore fail to replicate their home heroics against Karela and Dreams FC, but Yaw Acheampong’s lackadaisical troops are more than good enough for a point, especially given the hosts' defensive vulnerabilities.
