Asante Kotoko will look to end the year within touching distance of the summit when they host Bechem United at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday.
The Porcupine Warriors come into the clash on the back of a convincing 2-0 away win over Eleven Wonders and sit third on the table with 27 points, just one behind leaders Aduana FC. Under Abdul Karim Zito, Kotoko have struck a balance between control and efficiency, remaining unbeaten at home this season with four wins and three draws.
Bechem United arrive in Kumasi encouraged by back-to-back clean sheets but still hovering dangerously close to the relegation zone. Their away form remains a concern, with no wins on the road so far, and history offers little comfort against a Kotoko side that has dominated recent home meetings.
With momentum and the title race in mind, Kotoko will see this as a must-win fixture.
