Perennial rivals Skyy FC and Elmina Sharks will lock horns in the Access Bank Division One League this weekend as competition intensifies in Zone Two. The two clubs, who have lit up the Zone in recent years, are currently experiencing a topsy-turvy campaign following a lacklustre start to the season.

Elmina Sharks are five points off the top and sit in fifth place, while Skyy FC occupies the 10th spot with 11 points – nine points behind league leaders FC AshantiGold 04. Skyy FC have won only two of their nine league matches, with both wins coming at home. They have suffered two defeats in the season but have been let down by their consistent draws (five). Going into the weekend, they will hope to capitalise on their home strength to pick up their third win of the season, but they'll need to dig deep to achieve that, hosting a side that inflicted a defeat on league leaders FC AshantiGold 04 last weekend.

Zone Two leaders FC AshantiGold 04 will welcome second-from-bottom UCC Youngsters to the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium, aiming to return to winning ways after suffering their first defeat of the season to Elmina Sharks. The hosts top the table in Zone Two with 20 points – three points ahead of Sefwi All Stars, who are second with 17 points. UCC Youngsters are 15th in the league table with four points – 16 points behind FC AshantiGold 04 – and will need to pull out all the stops to secure a result from this encounter.

Another match that promises to be exciting is the fixture between Cape Coast Mysterious Ebusua Dwarfs and Sekondi Eleven Wise at the Robert Mensah Stadium on Sunday.
