Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Glo Premier League will kick-start on Sunday at all the League centers. With massive recruitment embarked upon by all the 16 participating clubs, coupled with high spirit and expectations of the newly promoted clubs nothing less than a keen competition is anticipated. Top on the bill is the clash between back-to-batan Accra Great Olympics and Kumasi Asante Kotoko at the Ohene Djan Stadium, Accra. Even though clashes between the two sides have on most occasions gone in the way of Kotoko, Olympics have always given their opponents the best of competitions at any given time but with even under the belief that they are friendly sides. The game on Sunday will therefore not be different as the "Dade Boys" will seek to announce their presence in the league with a respectable result in their first game, whilst Kotoko will aim at justifying the huge investments in player recruitments and the employment of a new coach; Paa Kwesi Fabin. From all indications the two Clubs will give soccer fans much to cheer about on Sunday as well as give positive signals on what is to be expected in the season. Defending League champions Accra Hearts of Oak have been given a difficult task in Kpando, as they play as guests of Heart of Lions. After having recorded a back-to-back victory over Hearts in the Top Four Tournament, it will be easy to predict another victory for the Lions. However in a different setting where Hearts have in their camp newly recruited players and a new technical director, with the technical direction of Lions also changing hands it will be difficult to make any meaningful predictions. King Faisal will be at home at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi to welcome Kessben FC in an encounter which might go in favour of the Alhaji Gruzah boys under the technical guidance of Isaac "Opele" Boateng. Newly promoted Aduana Stars have little chance of survival at the Berekum Golden City Park in their game against Arsenals if the home invincibility of the Berekum lads exhibited in the League over the past three years is to be taken into consideration. Real Tamale United (RTU) will play host to Sekondi Hasaacas at the Tamale Stadium, which result can be unpredictable as the 'Pride of the North' are always later starters in the League whilst Sekondi Eleven Wise play host to Wa All Stars at the Essipong Stadium, with Liberty Professionals taking on New Edubiase at the Carl Reindorf Park, Dansoman. Obuasi Ashgold complete the list of eight matches with a game against visiting Bechem Chelsea at the Len Clay Stadium, Obuasi.
