GhanaPremier League CLubs have a last life line to make it to the the season competition, this week, Derek Dapaah looks at the matches involved and the chances of the clubs to survive

Hearts of Oak vrs Berekum Chelsea
Hearts must stand up to grab this points against  a club that was  fighting  for the league trophy but now TOP 4 battler. Chelsea will give them tough task to overcome it, which I think they surely need to overcome it or else good-bye to next season because at Sogakope, they will surely lose. I urge Hearts fans to do it for the last because it's their last home game and it's against a strong opponent, Berekum Chelsea. A defeat is nothing to them but Hearts, it is. A win will be good so I urge them to beat Chelsea.

 Dapaah predicts: Hearts of Oak 3:2 Berekum Chelsea
Form guide: Hearts of Oak: LLWWD- 15th position
Berekum Chelsea: LDLLD- 4th position

Hasaacas vrs Kotoko
Two trouble one God; both clubs lost their last in all competition. Hasaacas lost their league game and Kotoko lost in the FA Cup final against Medeama SC. So who will go for a victory, Hasaacas or Kotoko? I think Hasacaas will do so because it's their last home game of the season and they will be looking forward to end their home form in a grand style for the Sekondi fans. I think Kotoko's defeat to Medeama was not good at all ahead of this encounter. The porcupine warriors are in a very difficult situation of their 80 year history with relegation staring at them after the disciplinary Committee of the GFA deducted six points from their build up. They will need to win this to sustain their chances of staying in the premiership

 Dapaah predicts: Hasaacas 1:2 Kotoko
Form guide: Hasaacas: WDLWL- 8th position
Kotoko: WWWDW-3rd position

Ashanti Gold vrs WAFA
This fixture will be nice to watch. All fans liveing around Obuasi should go and watch this game; With Ashgold on the verge to grab the league trophy, a win will be massive. I think WAFA knows it's going to  be two defeats in a row for them because they are exhausted and have done well in the league. Will surely end the league with a triumph at Sogakope against Hearts of Oak so they have nothing to gain at the venue of the home team who will be crowned champions after this match. It been a good campaign for both clubs and I want the fans to troop in with WHITE ATTIRES/ HANDKERCHIEF to rally behind both clubs.

 Dapaah predicts: Ashanti Gold 2:1 WAFA
Form guide: Ashanti Gold: LWDWD- 1st position
WAFA: LDLWL- 6th position

Aduana Stars vrs New Edubiase
Aduana was one of the clubs who wanted to over-take Ashgold for the trophy but couldn't stand it and now they are battling for TOP 4 finish. They have done well by using their home grounds to pick some important points and in leagues  your home matches must count for you. I think Edubiase got this fixture at a wrong time because they need the  point more to survive or else it's all over for them. I urge them to hold Aduana but can that be possible?
Dapaah predicts: Aduana Stars 1:1 New Edubiase
Form guide: Aduana Stars: WWWDL- 2nd position
New Edubiase: WLDDW- 9th position

Wa All Stars vrs Medeama SC
Will Wa All Stars be relegated? No, because it's the FA President's team so how can they be relegated. Their last home match and I know he will be there to encourage his boys to grab a win to cement their stay in the league next season and that's great from a leader like that. I urge them to beat their opponent as much as they can. Although, Medeama won the FA cup doesn't mean they can't fall at Wa. No point(s) for Medeama SC this weekend. All Stars will beat them. 

Dapaah predicts: Wa All Stars 3:1 Medeama SC
Form guide: Wa All Stars: LWLLL- 11th position
Medeama SC: LDWLD- 10th position

Inter-Allies vrs Bechem United
Tema fans needs a win because that is their last game at home and you have to end it with a win not a draw or defeat so Allies will go for the maximum points. Bechem look like they will fall in this fixture and they need to focus in their last home game and it's a full advantage to survive a premier league football next season for the Bechem fans. Bechem will play BA United at home so they shouldn't dream of a good results against a well-organised Allies, despite a victory in their last five (5) matches. its highly possible for Bechem to pick a point, but a lose won't be surprise

 Dapaah predicts: Inter- Allies 0:0 Bechem United
Form guide: Inter- Allies: LWDDL- 5th position
Bechem United: WDDLW- 14th position

Heart of Lions vrs Great Olympics
With two (2) matches to go for both clubs and their fate lying in their own hands, I think home advantage will be playing a massive role ahead of this encounter. If Olympics grab a draw, they are on the verge of securing a premiership campaign next season. They were on-form before the break and I hope they will continue with that form. Lions must do their best than what they did in their last match although, they grabbed a victory. I will go for a draw for both clubs.

 Dapaah predicts: Heart of Lions 2 :1 Great Olympics
 Form guide: Heart of Lions: WLWLW- 13th position
Great Olympics: WDWDW- 12th position

BA United vrs Liberty
BA are now counting their days in the league with two matches to go and this fixture is their last home game so they must end in a style to say a lovely good-bye to their home fans. Next week they will be playing at Bechem and it might not end well for them. Liberty have nothing to lose even if they go down at BA. I urge the home fans to pack the stadium in numbers. A win for BA at home will be nice to watch by Sports enthusiast, yet still I doubt they can withstand the Liberty team.

Dapaah predicts: BA United 1:2 Liberty
Form guide: BA United: LLLDL- 16th position

Liberty: WLLWW- 7th position
