GPL Preview- Karela United focus for Olympics crash

Annor Walker’s Great Olympics have disappointed loads of sporting lovers thus far in the league comparing last season’s performance they put up during the first round of the campaign to this season has been nothing short of underwhelming.

Fast-forward to this season, a lot has changed, their captain and midfield general, Gladson Awako has moved to Hearts of Oak, Maxwell Abbey Quaye’s recent performances have earned adebut call-up to Ghana Senior Male National Team, Blackstars, which is a positive thing but could injure the chances of the team on the local scene, it’s visible the team has lost its drive and motivation, which saw them slay the likes of Hearts, Kotoko, AshGold at will.

As things stand, the Wonder club sit 6th on the log 6 points adrift the current joint table toppers, King Faisal and Kotoko, who have amassed 23 points in 11 games.

The home side have accrued a total of 11 points from a possible15 plying in front of their teeming fan, which makes them a very difficult to play against whenever they are in the mood.

Karela United like their opponents are also yet to hit the heights of last season, as such, their problems are in fine prints for everyone to have shot at.

Kobby Mensah’s side are bad away travelers, picking a point in 5 games.

The good spark to this side is that, even in the absence of Diawusie Taylor, they score freely enabling the likes of U.Bashiru, R.Berko, D.Gyanfosu to get in on the action, scoring15 goals in 11 games but a gaping source of worry which needs to be fixed is their concession rate, having conceded 16 goals so far in the league.

Predictions: Great Olympics 2-1 Karela United.
