FC Samartex 1996 will be hoping to carry their midweek momentum into the Ghana Premier League when they welcome Young Apostles to the Nsenkyire Sports Arena on Sunday afternoon for a matchday 17 encounter.
The Timber Giants head into the fixture buoyed by a ruthless performance in the MTN FA Cup, where they dismantled lower-tier side Debiso Soccer Lions with a sensational 9-1 victory.
That emphatic win not only underlined their attacking quality but also served as a timely confidence booster as the league season reaches a critical stage.
Playing at home, Samartex will be eager to impose themselves early and maintain their push for consistency in the top flight.
Apostles, on the other hand, arrive in Samreboi under pressure following a difficult run of results.
The Wenchi-based club has struggled for form in recent weeks, managing just one win in their last eight league matches.
With four draws and three defeats in that period, Apostles have found it hard to build momentum, often dropping points in tight contests.
Their task on Sunday is made even more daunting by a worrying away record.
Apostles have collected only two points from their last six away trips, a statistic that highlights their struggles on the road.
Defensive lapses and a lack of cutting edge in the final third have cost them dearly, and they will need a disciplined and resilient performance to frustrate their hosts.
