Old Edwardians Vs Central Parade

Old Edwardians had a brilliant game against FC Kallon last time out. How will they perform against Central Parade? Is this a general improvement or it was just enough motivation and energy just to play FC Kallon? These are questions that will be answered this evening.

Central Parade are still searching for their first win. This will be their third fixture; they have lost one, drawn one. Old Edwardians are the first Freetown based side Parade is facing this season, maybe that familiarity will give them an edge.

Both teams need a win if they want to improve their position from last season.

Date: Friday, 20th December

Venue: National Stadium

Time: 6:30pm

East End Tigers Vs FC Kallon

East End Tigers come into this game with three points already in the bag after their win against FCFC. Both teams have had more than a full week to rest for this match. So, they will be fresh, and we expect an exciting game.

FC Kallon know that these are the sort of games they should win. With the defending champions, East End Lions fumbling, they should capitalize and start establishing a lead at the top.

Away from the pitch, the management of these two teams are currently in a standoff over Baimba Sesay- East End Tigers top goal scorer last season.

This situation might ignite a kind of rivalry on the pitch on Saturday evening.

Date: Saturday, 21st December

Venue: National Stadium

Time : 7:00 pm

FC Johansen Vs Bo Rangers

So, on Sunday FC Johansen will play their second home game. they will continue to search for their first win of the season. They have played two and drawn two. There are concerns within the Johansen ranks that the team need a prolific striker. This week the team was linked with a Ghanian striker, Mammudu Abdul Latif.

Bo Rangers come into this match with heads held high. Two wins in two games does that for you. This is their first test away from home. with the level of quality in their team, you will expect a win. Anything less than a win will be disappointing for their title hopes this season.

Rangers are already tied with Kamboi Eagles on point at the top of the table. Rangers and Eagles are the only two teams with a 100% record this season after two games. Can Rangers make it three in a row?

Date: Sunday, 22nd December

Venue: National Stadium

Time: 7:00pm

Kamboi Eagles Vs Anti-Drugs

Can the Eagles continue flying? They have won two in two. They play an Anti-Drugs team that haven’t conceded a goal yet this season. They have also played two and drawn both.

On paper this should be an easy match for the Eagles. But last season it was at home where this team dropped most of their points. This season they will need to fix that by winning more games at home. They already have a home win under their belt.

Two wins in two, can they make it three?

Be reminded that Anti-Drugs are masters in managing a game to a draw. They drew 11 games last season; no team drew more. They have already drawn a game in Kono this season. Can they do the same in Kenema?

Date: Sunday, 22nd December

Venue: Kenema playing field

Time: 4:30pm

Diamond Stars Vs Mighty Blackpool

On paper, this is the biggest game of the weekend. Kono is not an easy place to go and Blackpool know so. Diamond Stars will need to rejig the magic that kept them alive in the second half of the league this season. They have had two poor games, luckily, they cam out with a point in both games.

Blackpool will be buoyed by their performance against East End Lions last weekend. If they show half of that gut and brilliance that they showed against Lions, then this game should be win for them. Like Diamond Stars, they have also played to two draws.

Both teams will need to register their first win of the season.

Date: Sunday,22nd December

Venue: Kono playing field

Time: 4:30pm
