Hearts of Oak will look to shake off their first defeat of the season when they travel to face winless Dreams FC on Saturday, while Vision FC will rely on their strong home form against struggling Gold Stars SC.
The Phobians saw their unbeaten start end with a late goal in a narrow defeat to Karela United in Tamale. They now make the short trip to the University of Ghana Sports Stadium looking to respond immediately and get back to winning ways.
Hearts of Oak have collected two wins, one draw and one loss from their first four matches. This record will motivate them to avoid another setback against Dreams FC, who are still waiting for their first league win of the campaign.
Dreams FC have collected just one point from their four matches so far and conceded a league-high nine goals. The Still Believe youngsters will be hoping that playing at home will provide a platform for a change in fortunes as they look to revive their campaign.
The match presents an opportunity for Dreams FC to end their unbeaten run, but it will come with even more urgency after Hearts of Oak lost their perfect unbeaten record in their most recent match.
Vision FC will also look to return to winning form when they host Gold Stars SC at the Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex in Tema.
Vision FC can take encouragement from their record at the venue where they have gone unbeaten in their last four league matches. This run puts the hosts on a solid footing as they prepare for another crucial Premier League clash.
Gold Stars SC, however, are under pressure to arrest a poor run of results. They have lost three of their last four matches and will look to prevent that run from extending against Vision FC.
Both fixtures are important for teams looking to turn the season around. Hearts of Oak are aiming for an immediate response, Dreams FC are chasing their first win, Vision FC are looking to maintain their unbeaten streak at home and Gold Stars SC are looking to halt their recent slide.
