Their closest rivals Havedzi Mighty Warriors will lock horns with the powerful ''Tsunami'' Dansoman BSC.
Wuo Gb33 takes on Ada Assurance in a match which could decide the winner of the goal king award. Wuo Gb33 striker Richard Osa leads the scorers chat with 29 goals while Ada Assurance forward Joseph Larweh trails him by just 2 goals.
Sunset Sports Michael Sema who is on 28 goals is also in contention for the DSTV ‘walka’ which would be awarded to the goal king with other attractive packages.

In the Division 1 league, Golden Eagles take on Gulf Powers, African Angels will play Chokor Blue Whales while uncrowned Division1 league champions Teshie United will play local rivals Nungua BSC in what would be a tight encounter.
