Immigration Ladies v Police Ladies

Immigration Ladies will be hoping to get back to winning ways as they take on rivals Police Ladies on match day 5 in the much awaited ‘Service derby’. This fixture, one of the most appealing derby’s in the WPL calendar, will see two of the top teams in the Zone battling for three points. Police Ladies have endured an inconsistent start and were well on their way to the mark before that horrendous display at home to Berry Ladies dismantled the dream, going down 2-1 in the end. The team still has quality and only need time to explode and this fixture looks more of a catapult to glory. Faustina Kyereme and Deborah Afriyie scored to end the tie 1-1 in the 2019/20 season. Immigrations Ladies lie 7th in the table with 2 points while Police Ladies lie 5th with 4 points. considering the midfield and attacking firepower of both sides, we must expect a high scoring contest.

Berry Ladies v Thunder Queens FC

League leaders Berry Ladies play host to Thunder Quuens at the Zuka park at Madina. Berry Ladies will be looking to continue their 100% start to the season with another home win after going four games without defeat. Nina Norshie, Monica Addai and Ernestina Tetteh have made ‘the Berries’ thicker especially in attack and Coach Mercy Tagoe Quarcoo will count on the trio to produce magic on Saturday. Thunder Queens were held to a 1-1 by Immigrations Ladies on match day 4. Elizabeth Oppong again put up a splendid performance but could not win the points for her side. The team is however keeping hopes alive and will be eager to bounce back. Berry Ladies won the contest 2-0 in last seasons League with Bebe Kpozo and Faustina Akpo scoring but nonetheless, this should be an excellent game to witness in Madina.
