Aduana FC will look to return to winning ways when they square off with Vision FC in a Matchweek 17 clash at the Nana Agyemang Badu Park in Dormaa Ahenkro on Sunday.
The Ogya Boys have been held to back-to-back draws in their last two league matches, and will now be keen to rekindle their charge toward the upper reaches of the table. After 16 rounds of matches, Aduana have accumulated eight wins, five draws and three defeats, reflecting a season that has largely remained competitive.
Vision FC - who are popularly known as The Eeewo Boys will continue to battle for consistency in the bottom half of the standings. The Tema-based top-flight side have so far registered four wins, six draws and six defeats from their opening 16 matches, and will travel to Dormaa seeking a statement result against one of the league’s stronger home sides.
Match Preview
Aduana FC enter this fixture sitting 4th on the league log with 29 points and are firmly positioned in the top-four conversation as the season approaches its second round mark. Their home form at Dormaa has once again been a key pillar, with their energetic high-pressing approach and midfield control making the venue one of the toughest away assignments in the league.
Maxwell Arthur and Stephen Badu are expected to play influential roles in the centre of the park, providing balance between defensive stability and forward progression, while Mezack Afriyie and Emmanuel Marfo remain central to Aduana’s attacking threat in wings and transitional moments.
Vision FC, meanwhile, currently sit 14th on the table with 18 points, and will be keen to pull away from the lower reaches of the standings. Their campaign has been marked by narrow defeats and missed opportunities, but their intrepid and counter-attacking shape have made them competitive in stretches, particularly away from home.
Coach Nana Agyemang will rely on the organisation of Kusi Asante at the back and the forward drive of Daniel Yemoh and Abdul Sumaila as Vision look to frustrate Aduana and capitalise on weakest links.

Forward Daouda Sidibe is pushing to start again after recent lively performances, as Aduana targets a greater cutting edge in front of goal.
Vision FC
Vision FC are also set to line up close to full strength, with captain Kusi Asante leading a back three that has shown gradual improvement in recent weeks. Lord Xorse Kudzinya and Kingsley Appiah are expected to operate in midfield roles tasked with breaking up play and launching quick attacking breaks.
Winger Daniel Yemoh is likely to be a key outlet on the flanks, while Abdul Sumaila could feature centrally as The Eeewo Boys look for sharper finishing in crucial moments.

Aduana FC
Prince Osei (GK); Abubakar Adams, Remember Adomako Boateng, Alex Boakye (C), Alex Boakye (note: full-back pairing retained if applicable); Hensen Anponsa, Maxwell Arthur, Stephen Badu; Seidu Saana, Mezack Afriyie, Emmanuel Marfo; Daouda Sidibe.

We say: Aduana FC 2–1 Vision FC
We expect a closely-fought match, with Aduana likely to impose themselves early and find a breakthrough through Mezack Afriyie after a sustained time of pressure.
Vision FC may respond through a quick counter-attacking move, with Daniel Yemoh a strong candidate to level the score but the hosts’ late energy and home advantage could prove crucial, with Daouda Sidibe tipped to net a second-half winner.
