Pundits Corner: AshantiGold to Wrap up 2014/2015 league with victory

This weekend marks a turning point in the First Capital Plus Premier League with only 10 matches to spare, Ashantigold SC hopes to consolidate their position on the top of the log with a clash between themselves and the second placed team (Aduana), Once again, Derek Dapaah looks at the permutations in the 8 matches

Medeama SC vrs Kumasi  Asante Kotoko
Medeama SC must also capitalize on this poor run of Kotoko in the league or else they should forget top 4. Kotoko have been in their worse performance over a decade and they don't know who  to be blame. Medeama SC are struggling to find their rhythm in the league as well as their opponent so we have a game to watch at Tarkwa. "The game of the survivors" is the name of this fixture. If last week's victory is a wakeup call for Kotoko fans, then they will surely go at it against Medeama. Asante Kotoko have a better head to head record against the Yellow and Mauves, and will seek to capitalize on that, but Medeama have been very good at home this season, and therefore, I will go for a point split for the two due to their abysmal league performance in the second round.
Dapaah predicts: Medeama SC 1:1 Kumasi Asante Kotoko

Inter Allies vrs Great Olympics
Bad time for Olympics because they are just fallen short in their away matches. Olympics' bad run in the league, just came in the second round and it really creating a dangerous relegation zone for them. Allies gave their fans first victory in the second round at the same venue where Olympics will face them, Tema Sports Stadium. Inter Allies will make two(2) straight win on a row and Olympics fans will be angry at their board executives, that is why I said this fixture came at the wrong time. Allies to do it with a narrow victory.
 Dapaah predicts: Inter Allies 1:0 Great Olympics

Form guide: Inter Allies- DDDDW: 10th position
                       Great Olympics- DLLLLW: 15th position


Ashanti Gold vrs Aduana Stars
This is my game of the week. If Ashgold beat Aduana this weekend then they are the Champions of this seasons league 2014/15. Aduana will be looking forward to close the points between them and AshGold which is impossible at Obuasi, whiles AshGold will be hoping to extend it. AshGold have been playing like they want to be Champions despite losing last week so I can't go at them when playing home. They know that if they beat Aduana, they are Champions so they will give everything out to beat Aduana come Sunday. AshGold will beat Aduana easy at Len Clay without any bad officiating to be crowned  Champions. Aduana already knows, they have nothing to achieve  in this fixture
Dapaah predicts: Ashanti Gold 2:1 Aduana Stars
Last 5 matches:
Form guide: Ashanti Gold- DWDWL: 1st position
                      Aduana Stars- DLWLW: 2nd position


WAFA vrs Heart of Lions
WAFA has nothing to lose in the league when the season ends because they have really impressed many football lovers. Sogakope will be a big problem for clubs from now till week 30 and it's starting from this weekend against Lions. Lions are in a big mess because they have been banned from home so they will share another points when they play next week. Lions will lose many points in their three(3) fixtures from now till week 23. Sorry for their fans. WAFA playing style is questionable but it hard for them to find the back of the net sometimes. I know Lions will do anything to steal a point  to avoid relegation but I don't see that happening. They will be in that zone for two(2) weeks.
Dapaah predicts: WAFA 2:0 Heart of Lions

Form guide: WAFA- LDDWL: 5th position
                      Heart of Lions- WLDLD: 14th position

Accra Hearts of Oak vrs Sekondi Hasaacas
Hearts of Oak must win this to get their fans back and "Homowo" festival to starts in a grand style. Hearts are really struggling to get the results they want because their strikers aren't scoring and Herbert must change his style of play( play without a striker). Hasaacas are on top in this fixture picking 10 points out of 15 points whiles Hearts 6 out of 15 points, which is very bad. Hearts can lose this fixture if they don't take time because Hasaacas have what it takes to beat them at their own backyard, but Herbert will win this to limit the pressure on him. If Herbert loses this match I think he already knows that,  he will leavie his job as the manager/coach of the club at the end of the season. Drop your strikers and play a new system to get things back for Hearts. Hasaacas to trouble Hearts this weekend at the Accra Sports Stadium. Fans should go and rally behind their clubs.
 Dapaah predicts: Accra Hearts of Oak 2:1 Sekondi Hasaacas

Wa All Stars vrs BA United
BA did their best to hold Accra Hearts of Oak last weekend in Sunyani but can they do that in WA? No. Wa All Stars will be looking forward to get back to their new position, 2nd after losing last weekend so they will capitalize on Aduana's away game ( Not  good at away matches) so BA won't stand to the occasion far away in WA. BA should just limit the goals they concede when going away and focus on their home matches. All Stars to win this comfortably.
Wa All Stars 2:0 BA United

Form guide: Wa All Stars- WLWWL: 3rd position
                      BA United- DLDLD: 16th position


Berekum Chelsea vrs New Edubiase
From the form guide, everything shows that this match can end in a draw or in favor of the home team. Edubiase must look at the form guide, everything shows that this match can end in a draw or in favor of the home team. Edubiase must use the strategy they used against Kotoko as their away tactics to get the point(s) they need. Now, they are battling for relegation and if they don't take care they will be relegated. Edubiase must do everything to end this game in a draw or else the relegation fever will catch them up. Chelsea won't lose this game because they want to finish this season in a grand style by being in the top 4 so I don't think they will let a point even slip from their own home.
Dapaah predicts: Berekum Chelsea 2:1 New Edubiase

Form guide: Berekum Chelsea- DWLWD: 4th position
                      New Edubiase- DWDLW: 13th position


Bechem United vrs Liberty Professional
Despite Liberty's nice run in the second round of the league, they will fall against Bechem. Bechem haven't had their peak in the second round but they won't let Liberty go with a point. They want to avoid relegation so they will win their home matches and draw some of their away matches as well. Liberty can go at it but it will be a tough task for them. Bechem at home is dangerous like Aduana so we will have a game to watch. Bechem to win this for their fans to get them back to the stadium.
Dapaah predicts: Bechem United 1:0 Liberty Professional
Last 5 matches:
Form guide: Bechem United- LWDWL: 12 position
                      Liberty Professionals- DWDWL: 6th position
