Real Tamale United (RTU) is bracing for a decisive clash against Bofoakwa Tano at the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex this Saturday, with both teams eyeing vital points to escape the relegation zone in the ongoing Ghana Premier League season.
Amidst their struggle to secure favorable results, RTU finds themselves entrenched in the 18th position on the league table with 17 points.
Enduring a challenging spell, they have clinched just one victory in their last five outings, succumbing to four defeats. Their latest disappointment came in a disheartening 3-0 loss against Accra Hearts of Oak on matchday 18 at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Meanwhile, Bofoakwa Tano is marginally ahead of RTU, occupying the 17th spot with 18 points. Despite their slight advantage, their recent form mirrors that of RTU, with three losses and two draws in their last five encounters.
In their most recent fixture, they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat against Accra Great Olympics at the Coronation Park.
With both teams acutely aware of the stakes involved, Saturday’s showdown promises to be fiercely contested.
For RTU, the match offers a crucial opportunity to claw their way out of the relegation zone, while Bofoakwa Tano aims to widen the gap between themselves and the bottom of the table.
