The Boys are gradually being separated from the men as the
First Capital Plus Premier League goes into week 19 this weekend, and as usual,
Derek Dapaah predicts the outcome of these matches which includes two regional
derbies.
Medeama SC vrs Heart
of Lions
A bouncing back game for Medeama SC after losing in their
mid- week fixture. I think Medeama knows that they can't get the results at
away but can get it at home so they will do all it takes to grab this point
against Lions. Lions had a good away run during the first round but this second
round it hasn't been encouraging at all. I don't see Lions giving Medeama SC a
tough time at Tarkwa so I will go for Medeama SC victory.
Dapaah predicts:
Medeam SC 2:0 Heart of Lions
Ashanti Gold vrs BA
United
One of the unbeaten clubs in the second round and they are looking
like worthy champions but not champions now. AshantiGold are a real good side
at home and BA United ain't pulling to my satisfaction as I thought it will go
well for them in the second round. I think they have taken themselves out of
the league come next season because the results ain't coming. Ashgold has no
excuses if they lose this game to a weak BA United side this Sunday. B A have
nothing to achieve at Obuasi so sorry for their fans. Dapaah predicts: Ashanti Gold 2:0 BA United
WAFA vrs Hasaacas
WAFA's victory at Sogakope. No one can stand them at home so
I don't see Hasaacas giving them problems. WAFA play as they want at home and
score when they feel so how will Hasaacas cope with it. Hasaacas ain't a bad
side but they can't stand it at Sogakope. I can't go against WAFA at any level
due to style of play, a real Academy team.
Dapaah predicts: WAFA
2:1 Hasaacas
Wa All Stars vrs
Olympics
Wrong fixture at a wrong time for Olympics. They will attack
Metro again in this fixture because another defeat to follow and relegation
fever will start catching them. Wa All Stars have proved it to me that at home
their opponent's victory is a draw and Hearts of Oak game is an example of it,
so Olympics should be ready for another defeat at Wa. I have nothing to go
against Wa All Stars at home this time, unless there is a decline in the home
run.
Dapaah predicts: Wa All Stars 2:0 Olympic
Bechem United vs New
Edubiase
Good at home vrs the in-form midfielders. Bechem are good at
home, no doubt about that but can it run towards Edubiase who has good
midfielders in the league as at now. New
Edubiase will give everything out to make this game end in a draw but BECHEM will
be a difficult task for them to grab a point(s), unless they run throughout the
game and get a strategy that will map to Bechem's own. I see Bechem grabbing
what belongs to them after 90minutes, unless Edubiase do what I said earlier
on. A nice game to watch far away in Bechem. The fans should rally behind their
clubs this weekend to get what they need because Edubiase are pulling out
something for their fans as well as Bechem have really done well this season.
Dapaah predicts: Bechem United 2:1 New
Edubiase
Berekum Chelsea vs
Aduana
The chasers battle- Both clubs are chasing Ashgold and the
second place. We have a game to watch. It is going to be a nice game to watch,
I urge every fan or football enthusiast to go to the stadium to watch this
lively game. Both clubs will go at it and I will go for a point split, despite
Berekum Chelsea's form at home but bad away run from home. Aduana will also be
looking forward to close the five(5) points between them and the league leaders
and maintain the three(3) points between them and Chelsea so we really have a
game to watch this weekend. As I said, I will go for a point split, unless
Aduana does their things again (plays very abysmal) at away.
Dapaah predicts: Berekum Chelsea 2:2 Aduana
Liberty Professional
1:1 Kumasi Asante Kotoko
Woow, what a game to watch because Kotoko will be looking
forward to make it two out of two in Accra (defeated Olympics and beat Liberty
Sunday) but it won't be easy at all. Liberty is unbeaten (2 draws and 1 win) in
the second round and will continue with the run and make it a record. Kotoko
were fantastic against Olympics and is the beginning of a new era they were
looking for? Only Sunday's fixture will tell but I see that match ending in a
draw but Liberty can turn things around.
Dapaah predicts: Liberty Professional 1:1 Kumasi Asante Kotoko
Accra Hearts of Oak
vrs Inter Allies
It is hard to find out what's wrong with Hearts whether
tactics or fatigue. They ain't putting up their best in this league and I think
the board is not thinking of a top four(4) finish but will get a domestic
trophy for the fans. Allies can trouble Hearts well with their nice away form
but if only the players will stand to the occasion. I see this match being an
entertaining fixture to produce a narrow victory for one club. Allies weren't
all that good against Ashgold at home in the mid-week fixture and Hearts will
be aiming to bounce back after their shambolic performance against Wa All
Stars. I go for a Phobia victory come what- may.
Dapaah predicts: Accra Hearts of Oak 1:0 Inter
Allies
