The first leg of the highly anticipated “Super Clash” between Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko will take place on Match Day 5 at the Accra Sports Stadium, with the reverse fixture scheduled for Match Day 22 in Kumasi at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
The season will also see the return of regional derbies that are expected to reignite old rivalries.
In the Volta Region, newly promoted Hohoe United will take on Kpando Heart of Lions on Match Day 17, with the reverse leg set for Match Day 34, the final day of the season.
