GPL preview: Struggling Olympics host Ebusua Dwarfs

Great Olympics hope match day nine will not see a repeat performance of their previous matches when they face Ebusua Dwarfs at the Accra sports stadium this Sunday.

The Wonder Club are yet to record a win since their return to the top flight even though they have seven points. Three of the points were won at the board room.

They won a protest against newcomers Bolga All Stars. Currently they are out of the relegation zone on the league ladder sitting right on top of the bottom three.

Key player Abel Manomey will be welcomed back into the team for Sunday's match whereas left back Malik Tahiru looks doubtful.

Ebusua Dwarfs ended the unbeaten streak of league leaders Aduana Stars in their last premiership game and are poised to pounce on that to add salt to the injury of Great Olympics.

The Crabs scored twice in first half before the Fire Boys pulled one back in the second half. They are yet to win at away this season.

High flying striker Nicholas Gyan scored the first goal in their win last two weeks to make it six goals in his last six league appearances.

He is top scorer of the league at the moment.

The Mysterious Club will travel to the capital without Solomon Gyesi who has three assists so far this season.

He is suffering from an ailment.
