The 20th round of matches in the OneTouch Premier League would be played in midweek with league leaders, Asante Kotoko - who have two games in hand - sure to maintain their six-point lead.

Asante Kotoko, who have played 17 games so far, two less than the chasing pack would be away at the port town of Tema where they play strugglers, Tema Youth, who are three places above the bottom-placed team.

A whopping 22 point gap separates both sides as the Porcupine Warriors attempt to complete a double over the Tema-based side, who have struggled in their second season in the elite division.

Liberty Professionals, haven’t given up on the title chase yet, the Dansoman-based team would renew their fight to claim their first league title at home.

The impressive form of Wa All Stars would be severely tested by Liberty Professionals at the Carl Reindorf Park in Dansoman.

Real Tamale United, another team to have played fewer games so far, with two outstanding games, would be at the Ohene Djan Stadium in Accra where they play the defending league champions, Accra Hearts of Oak.

The Phobians have failed to show any intent of retaining their title. Presently lying 9th with a game to spare, Hearts of Oak would need a win to improve their position on the table as struggle to break into the four.

Real Tamale United coach, Abdul Razak, who has always come up tops in games with the Phobians in his coaching career, would be determined to complete a double over Eyal Lachman’s charges.

Mohammed Gargo would be counting on his AshantiGold side to reproduce their winning form that saw them clinch their first win under him on Sunday when he leads the Miners to the Swedru Park where they play away to Gamba All Blacks.

In Kpando, Heart of Lions would attempt to erase their loss to Kotoko, when they host Berekum Arsenals.

Lions, now lying fourth, would seek to reclaim third position after the Gunners leapfrogged them over the weekend to the position. Lions did not play at the weekend after their game was rescheduled.

King Faisal host Real Sportive at the Baba Yara Stadium while Kessben FC would be at home at the Anane Boateng Park where they play Zaytuna FC.

Sekondi Hasaacas will host bottom-placed Accra Great Olympics at the Sekondi Sports Stadium.
