Aduana Stars see an opportunity to reclaim the top spot in the Ghana Premier League as they prepare to take on FC Samartex 1996 in Dormaa Ahenkro this Monday afternoon.
The Ogya Boys are poised to ascend to the league’s pinnacle should they triumph over Samartex, who currently hold the league lead at Nana Agyemang Badu Park.
Leveraging their formidable home form, Aduana has suffered only one defeat in their last 10 home games, clinching victory in the remaining nine.
Currently positioned second with 30 points from 17 games, Aduana trails Samartex by just two points.
Meanwhile, Samartex, the reigning league leaders, are determined to bolster their away performance for a shot at ultimate success in the campaign. With only two away wins in the first round, Nurudeen Amadu’s squad is eyeing a strong start on the road in the second round, commencing with the pivotal clash against Aduana.
Despite Samartex’s impressive record, having secured two wins and a draw in their premiership encounters with Aduana, the Timber Giants are fully aware that Monday’s contest will be a crucial test of their resilience and ambition to maintain their league lead.
Notably, 15-year-old Benedict Afull is in contention to make his first top-flight appearance for Samartex after making the match squad to face Aduana.
