It's another big weekend in the First Capital Plus Premier League as the competition enters the business end.

At this stage of the season, every goal and point gained on lost could prove crucial come the end of the season.

The match-day-24 action kick starts on Saturday with one fixture scheduled at 15:00GMT at the Tema Stadium between struggling side, Inter Allies and top-four hopefuls, Hasaacas.

Inter Allies have performed creditably after lifting themselves off the foot of the stable to third from bottom. Sitting two points from safety, the Tema side will be eager to continue with their push for survival.

Then on Sunday, the seven games lined up could further decide the title destination and Clubs trying to avoid the drop.

Asante Kotoko hold a nine-point lead at the summit and will be desperate to secure their 16th victory of the season when they host Bechem United at the Baba Yara Stadium.

Chasing Kotoko in second place are rivals, Hearts of Oak, who are 9 points behind the top. The Phobians face a big task at the Accra Stadium with the visit of Heart of Lions.

This fixture is a straight battle for second place, which guarantees a second CAF Champions League qualification spot.

Following their defeat on Thursday, Medeama will be attempting to bounce back when they take on King Faisal at the T&A Park.

Wa All Stars will be brimming with confidence after their victory over Medeama when they welcome Amidaus Professionals to the Wa Park.

In Bekwai, New Edubiase will meet Berekum Chelsea as both sides, level on points will be determined to push.

Second from bottom, Ebusua Dwarfs need to build up more points to avoid the drop but have to manage tough opposition with their clash against AshantiGold at the Robert Mensah Stadium.

Last from bottom, Aduana Stars with a game in hand need to pick all the spoils if they are to avoid going down to the second tier.

Aduana meet Liberty Professionals at the Agyemang Badu Park to conclude the busy weekend.
