Young Apostles, meanwhile, will be determined to spoil the hosts’ plans and begin the new campaign with maximum points. The visitors will know that getting a positive result away from home could provide an early boost to their confidence.
The match is expected to attract considerable attention from Ghanaian football supporters as excitement builds around the return of the domestic league. Clubs across the country have spent the off-season strengthening their squads and preparing for what promises to be another competitive campaign.
The opening fixture will also set the tone for a season involving 18 clubs, with defending champions Medeama among the teams preparing to battle for the league crown again. Traditional heavyweights such as Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak will also be hoping to challenge strongly for the title. (Ghana Football Association)
For Vision FC and Young Apostles, however, the immediate focus is on getting their campaign off to the best possible start. With three points at stake, both teams will be eager to avoid an early setback and give their supporters something to celebrate.
