There might be love in the air on Valentine’s Day but for the premiership sides, they would be no gifts for their opponents rather they would love to trade for points on match-day-22.

Premiership action returns in midweek, Valentine’s Day and with nine games to go, lots of clubs would be seeking to better their positions, especially amongst clubs caught up in the drop zone.

Seven games would come off on Wednesday while one match would be played the day after but there would be no more premiership action at the Tema park as it closes down for the laying of an artificial turf surface.

Already, all three clubs using the ground have relocated to other centres.

However, match action kicks off at the Kpando park where second-placed, AshantiGold attempt to close the gap at the top when they play away to Heart of Lions who are third on the standings.

The Miners back from a continental double would try to keep their winning form running but against the Lions, that fine form can be dented.

Asante Kotoko, after dropping out of the CAF/MTN Champions League would now turn their sights on defending their league title with a game against Bofoakwa Tano at the Robert Mensah stadium.

At the Coronation park, King Faisal host Real Sportive. Just a point separates Faisal from Sportive, who have a game in hand.

The Golden City park would see home side, Berekum Arsenals taking on Accra Great Olympics.

Premiership debutants, Tema Youth will attempt to halt their gradual slip on the standings when the travel to the Swedru park to play Gamba All Blacks.

In Dansoman, Feyenoord Academy faced with the threat of getting caught up in the relegation net would take on Liberty Professionals at the Carl Reindorf Park.

The game at the Ho sports stadium would see the last clubs at the bottom of the table, Real Tamale United who are placed fifteenth playing away to bottom-placed, Power FC.

On Thursday, league leaders, Accra Hearts of Oak would mark their debut at their new home grounds at the Carl Reindorff park where they play Sekondi Hasaacas.

The Phobians lead the pack with four points as they look to extend their lead with a win over the Giants of the West.
