Karela to take maximum points
Karela United have been really solid at home this season; they are one of two teams that have no losses at home so far. Like Karela United, RTU have had a fairly good record at home; as they've lost just once in 16 home games. However, it's fair to point out that Real Tamale United have mostly struggled away from home this season; they've managed just one win in 15 road games, with three draws and 11 losses. Also, RTU have no wins in their last four games, while Karela United lost just once in their last seven games; on that note, we're predicting a win for Karela United.
Don't bank on goals
Finally, we'll take a look at the over/under goals market. These are two teams that don't score a lot of goals; Karela United have averaged 1.2 goals per game, while RTU scored 1.1 goals per game on average this season. Because of their low-scoring nature, both teams' games are usually on the low-scoring side. Seven of Karela United's last eight, and four of RTU's last six games went below the 2.5 goal mark. With this in mind, we don't believe that these teams will score three goals between them.

Can Karela keep their good form rolling?
The result of this game could have a big say on how both teams view their season. If Karela win, they could jump up to second whilst RTU would be left in real danger near to the bottom. A RTU win though, would see the hosts confined to an almost definite midtable spot whilst RTU would then be looking to join them in that area.
Karela United have had a fairly good run of form recently; they've lost just once in their last seven games, with three wins and three draws. Although Karela United are eighth on the table, they are just five points from second-place; they'll hope to go up the table with a win today.
Karela Predicted lineup – Seidu, Randolf, Osei, Okran, Addai, Bashiru, Owusu, Ayeh, Flamini, Kumi, Oppong
Real Tamale United have been going through a rough patch lately; they are winless in their last four games, with three draws and a loss. RTU are 15th on the 18 team table, just two points clear off the relegation zone; they'll hope to put some distance between themselves and their relegation zone with a win.
RTU Predicted lineup – Yaw, Sayibu, Mohammed, Bawa, Abayase, Muntari, Gadafi, Abdulai, Nketiah, Kuka, Boakye
