Newly promoted Ghana Premier League side Basake Holy Stars are looking to do the league double over Accra Lions this season.
The two teams face each other on matchday 27 of Ghana's top flight at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday, April 12.
Holy Stars picked up a 2-1 win at home when the two teams met earlier in the season, with Prince Tweneboah scoring a brace while Dubi Kassi Tayi was on target for Lions.
The two teams have enjoyed a rollercoaster season so far, occupying 16th and 12th, respectively, heading into this weekend's fixtures.
Until the defeat to Samartex last weekend, Accra Lions had picked up back-to-back wins over Legon Cities and Nsoatreman.
Holy Stars' win over Berekum Chelsea also saw them end a run of eight games without a win in the Premier League.
Seven points separate the two teams ahead of the game on Saturday, and Lions, who are currently in the relegation zone, will be looking to close the gap.
Depending on results from other games, Lions could move above Karela United with a win over Holy Stars, while the latter could move into 10th position with all three points.
Lions have picked up the fewest points at home this season with just 17 from 12 games. Holy Stars, on the other end, have just five points from 12 away games all season.
The game is scheduled to kick off at 15:00 GMT.
