Samartex FC will aim to tighten their grip on the premier league title when they welcome Bibiani Gold Stars to the Nsenkyire Sports Arena for the Western derby on Sunday, June 2, 2024.
Despite succumbing to a 2-0 defeat to Heart of Lions last weekend, the Timber Giants have a six-point lead atop the league standings.
A win against the visiting Miners would inch them closer to their first premier league trophy.
They could be handed a huge boost if second-placed Aduana Stars fail to win away to Bechem United on Saturday.
However, Samartex would want to take their destiny into their own hands and see off their neighbours in style on Sunday.
The league leaders have won 14 and lost just one of their home games so far, and a win against Gold Stars should be a foregone conclusion.
The Miners are the most unlikely opponents to cause an upset in Samreboi given their poor away record this season.
Frimpong Manso’s team has won just one away game this term. They shook off their heavy defeat away to Nsoatreman to beat Dreams at Dun’s Park but will have to dig deep to stop Samartex.
Gold Stars are 10th on the league standings with 43 points after steering clear of the danger zone. Manso will be keen for a strong finish to their campaign, but the Timber Giants will be strong for them.
