GPL preview: Tema Youth vs Medeama

Tema Youth FC will be welcoming struggling Medeama SC to the Tema stadium this Sunday.

The Harbour City boys are expected to capitalize on the Tarkwa based outfit's slack this campaign to register a third successive home win.

Bolga All Stars and Hearts of Oak are victims of the previous two straight home victories.

Edward Nii Odoom has a fully fit squad for the fixture.

Top marksman Joseph Paintsil could play a vital role if the Tema side are to win on Sunday.

He has scored in three of the four home games for Tema Youth FC this season.

Medeama SC are still chasing their first win in seven games. Their last win in the premiership was a 1-0 over WAFA SC in the opening day.

The Yellow and Mauves are sitting 14th on the league table with just seven points from a possible twenty four. One of the abysmal starts in a new in recent years.

Top scorer Bernard Ofori Danso is expected back in the fold for the trip to Tema. Injury ruled him out two weeks ago against Great Olympics.

Defensive duo Paul Aidoo and Awal Mohammed Bello could also make return after missing the last game a fortnight ago against Great Olympics.
