Sports News Ghana Premier League Preview: Berekum Chelsea vs AshantiGold- Blues up for it against revived Miners
SEP 10, 2016 LISTEN

Berekum Chelsea will take advantage of their recent home form when they welcome Ashanti Gold SC to the Golden City Park  on Sunday .

The Blues need a win to be sure safety when the season closes.

They are three points away from the relegation zone as they lie 13th on the league log.

Stalwart defender Nicholas Opoku makes a return to the squad for Sunday's important fixture after missing the trip to Tarkwa last week in an outstanding game.

Stephen Owusu could also make return when selected to feature this weekend against the Elephants.

He couldn't travel with club to Tarkwa last Sunday.

Ashanti Gold SC have been dethroned as champions of the Ghana Premier League as they have no chance of defending their title.

They are currently ninth on the league ladder with twelve points away from the spot top.

They can still finish within top four if they manage a victory against the Blues on Sunday and subsequent games.

Promising defender Kadri Mohammed has been transferred to Austrian side FK Austria Vienna on a four year deal.

He has arrived in Austria to join his new teammates.

The versatile defender would still have been out of this game if present in the country. He was sent off against Sekondi Hasaacas a fortnight ago.
