We Say: Aduana FC 2-1 Young Apostles
This Bono derby has the potential to be a close shave cracker, but Aduana FC’s strong home record could give them the advantage.
We expect the Ogya Boys to start aggressively and take the lead through Daouda Sidibe after sustained pressure in the opening half. Young Apostles could respond through Samuel Prempeh on a quick counterattack before Aduana regain control late in the game.
A decisive goal from Emmanuel Marfo in the second half may be enough to hand the Ogya Boys all three points in Dormaa.
