Karela United will aim to return to winning ways when they welcome Dreams FC to the Aliu Mahama Stadium in Tamale on Sunday afternoon, following their 4-2 defeat to Asante Kotoko in Kumasi last weekend.
The Pride of the North have shown flashes of quality this season but remain inconsistent, alternating between strong home performances and costly lapses on the road.
Karela currently sit seventh on the Ghana Premier League table with 12 points from eight matches (W3, D3, L2), scoring nine and conceding 10 goals, one of the highest defensive tallies in the league.
Head coach Nurudeen Amadu will be focused on tightening his team’s backline while maintaining their attacking threat. At home, however, Karela have been impressive. They are unbeaten in four home games (W3, D1), keeping three clean sheets and conceding just once at the Aliu Mahama Stadium. That solidity, combined with their strong record against Dreams FC, three wins in their last five home meetings, gives them cause for optimism.
Dreams FC, on the other hand, arrive buoyed by a morale-boosting 2-0 win over FC Samartex 1996 but remain just one point above the relegation zone in 15th place. Away from home, they have struggled significantly, losing all four matches so far. Coach Winfred Dormon hopes his side can end that poor run against a Karela team difficult to beat on their turf.
