**Medeama's looking rough, and Samartex are here to capitalize.** A pre-season clash between a team limping through defeats and one finding some rhythm — on paper, this feels lopsided. 🔥

Medeama have won none of their last five, dropping games to serious continental sides like Al Ahly and CR Belouizdad. Samartex, meanwhile, just snagged a win over Victoria United and drew with Raja Club Athletic at home — they're trending the right way heading into this.

Key storylines:

- **Medeama's back line** (Desmond, K. Asmah, G. Dzakpasu) under pressure to tighten up after conceding three to Belouizdad
- **Samartex's attacking balance** with C. A. Boateng and C. Kumi pushing out wide could exploit Medeama's defensive fragility
- Friendly status means rotation risk, but Samartex's form gives them a genuine edge

Expected lineups:

- **Medeama SC**: F. Kyei, Desmond, K. Asmah, G. Dzakpasu, E. Adade, M. Mantey, A. Fordjour, N. K. Babil, E. Ackahbi, D. Fordjour, A. Salam
- **Samartex**: K. Baah, E. Acquah, E. A. Siaw, E. Afful, B. Kushibo, A. Latif, A. Sarpong, D. Awuah, B. Afful, C. A. Boateng, C. Kumi

Prediction:

**Samartex 2–0 Medeama.** Samartex's momentum and Medeama's defensive woes point to a comfortable away win.
