The Black Magicians could delay the title party for a while with a win at home in the penultimate round of matches on match-day-29.

In waiting for a Phobian defeat are second-placed, AshantiGold who will be at home to Real Tamale United at the Len Clay stadium.

The Miners will seek to grind out a win to secure them a place in the Champions League and keep their title dreams on depending on the out of the game in Swedru.

Asante Kotoko, who have surrendered the title won last season after defeat last Sunday at home face another uphill task that could derail their continental ambitions.

The Porcupine Warriors who lie third on the log with just a point separating them from the second-placed club be guest at the Golden City Park to face Berekum Arsenals.

At the Kpando Park, Heart of Lions battle the premiership's underachievers, Liberty Professionals.

The Ho sports stadium will witness the game between Great Olympics and Sekondi Hasaacas.

In Sunyani, King Faisal, who lie 15th on the table take on bottom-placed Power FC at the Coronation Park. A win for Faisal will boost their chances of staying in the premiership but first they will need to go past the relegated Power FC.
