Bechem United have a good opportunity to make amends for their big loss last weekend in the MTN FA Cup round of 16.

The Hunters are hosting Medeama SC at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour park on Sunday.

The home side were walloped 4-0 by regional rivals Berekum Chelsea which means they can't defend the trophy they won last season.

Now, they turn their focus on the league for a better placement on the log at the end of the season.

A win on Sunday will take them to the 4th position on the league table.

Saddick Haji Abubakar, Hafiz Wontah Konkoni and captain Asante Agyemang are all returning to the squad for the weekend's fixture.

Medeama SC have a sour June following their two straight defeats.

They had won all of their league matches in May but this month is a different story.

The Yellow and Mauves advanced to the quarter finals of the FA Cup after beating Elmina Sharks 1-0 FC last Sunday.

They will experience their poorest streak of the season if they lose on Sunday to the Hunters.

It will be the third straight loss in league for the first time this season.

The visitors are 10th on the league table with 24 points.

They will need at least a draw this weekend to maintain their position.

Bernard Ofori Danso is coming back into the team for the journey to Bechem after missing the cup game last Sunday.

Amos Korankye is also expected back into the set up for Sunday's visit to the Brong Ahafo region.
