2020/21 GPL: Preview: Great Olympics lock horns with leaders Karela United

Accra Great Olympics will lock horns with league leaders Karela United at the Accra Sports Stadium today.

Olympics are having a good campaign to remember and have enjoyed wins that are significant and difficult to forget.

Out six games played at the Accra Sports Stadium this season, the ‘Dadee’ lads have won four, lost 1 and drew 1. Which depicts a favourite ground for them.

The venue serves as home grounds for several clubs including Olympics who have played as an away side at the Stadium twice, winning all.

Karela although leads the table, they have not been convincing in their away games this season. However, they managed a draw during their last visit to Accra against Hearst of Oak.

The Red and Greens are yet to win any of their away games in the first quarter. Two draws, and two defeats, conceding seven goals in the process. Which sum up a struggle in the away games.

Head Coach Evans Addotey would want to break their away jinx against the Blue and Whites.

Great Olympics will move tie with Karela on the same points(17 points) in case they win today’s encounter.

Key Players

Great Olympics- Gladson Awako

The 30-year-old has been an itch in the throat of defenders in the final third. Awako has been involved in 4 goals (3 goals, 1 Assist) out of the 11 goals scored by his club.

Karela United- Diawisie Taylor

Following his two goals last week, Taylor is tied with Daniel Lomotey on 8 goals each in the chase for the golden boot. With the goal king insight, the young striker would want to increase his tally.
