The Len Clay Sports Stadium will host an important Ghana Premier League encounter on Sunday as FC AshantiGold '04 welcome Karela United FC, with both clubs targeting crucial points for different reasons.
While the Miners are looking to continue their impressive return to the top flight and move closer to the top four, Karela United travel to Obuasi desperate to halt a worrying run of poor results and climb away from the lower reaches of the table.
Match Preview
AshantiGold have made an encouraging return to the Ghana Premier League following their promotion, establishing themselves as one of the division's most difficult teams to beat at home.
The Obuasi-based club are seventh on the table with 15 points after 10 matches and head into the fixture following a 0-0 draw against Young Apostles last weekend.
Despite dropping points in that encounter, the Miners remain in solid form, having recorded two wins, two draws and one defeat in their last five league matches.
Their greatest strength has been their performances at the Len Clay Sports Stadium, where they remain unbeaten this season. AshantiGold have won three and drawn two of their five home fixtures, turning their home ground into a fortress.
The hosts will be confident of extending that impressive record against a Karela United side that has struggled badly in recent weeks.
Karela arrive in Obuasi searching for their first league victory in five matches after enduring a disappointing spell that has seen them register two draws and two defeats in their last four outings.
Even more worrying for the visitors is their lack of firepower. Karela have failed to score in three of those four matches, highlighting their attacking struggles.
Their away form has also been poor throughout the campaign, collecting just one point from five away league matches, making Sunday's assignment one of their toughest tests of the season.
With AshantiGold boasting one of the league's strongest home records and Karela desperate to rediscover their form, the stage is set for an intriguing contest in Obuasi.
