Halifax Queens vs Samartex Ladies
The Ghana Women's Premier League continues this weekend with an exciting clash between Halifax Queens and Samartex Ladies at the Teshie Mac Dan Park.
Halifax Queens will be eager to bounce back after a tough 4–1 defeat to defending champions Police Ladies in their opening game. Despite the heavy loss, there were moments of promise from the Queens, especially in attack, but defensive lapses proved costly. Playing at home this time, their head coach will hope his side can tighten up at the back and capitalize on home advantage to register their first points of the season.
On the other hand, Samartex Ladies arrive in high spirits following a hard-fought 2–1 victory over LadyStrikers in their debut Premier League outing. The newcomers showed great determination and discipline, announcing themselves as a team to watch this season. A win on the road would not only boost their confidence but also send a strong message to the rest of the teams.
LadyStrikers vs Oak FC
LadyStrikers welcome debutants Oak Ladies in matchday two of the Malta Guinness Women's Premier League on Sunday at the Jukwa Astro Turf. Strikers, having suffered a narrow defeat in their opening fixture on the road, would seek to secure at least a point at home. However, playing away from their usual home fans may be an impediment in their quest for victory. The Phobia Ladies, on the other hand, secured a point in their first taste of the league and would be eager for at least a point in their second encounter.
Even though Oak Ladies are new to the league, their head coach, Mercy Tagoe-Quarcoo, would want to capitalize on her experience in the game and prove a point for her side.
Soccer Intellectuals vs FC Epiphany
FC Epiphany warriors will clash with Soccer Intellectuals at Senya District Assembly AstroTurf. The game is anticipated to be fiercely fought as both teams lost their season openers. The visitors lost narrowly at home to Army Ladies, whereas the hosts were beaten 4-0 on the road to Jonina Ladies. Another factor that will come into play is the head coach of Soccer Intellectuals, Selasie Pentem Emmanuel, who happens to be a former coach of the guest team. Selasie, having knowledge about his opponent, will try to map out strategies to outwit his former employers. When the two sides met at the same venue in their last outing, the game ended in a goalless draw.
Hasaacas Ladies vs Jonina Ladies
Kobby's Park in Takoradi will witness the first home game for Hasaacas Ladies.

Hasaacas Ladies expect to start their home games on a good note to bring joy to their fans, while the visitors will go into this fixture looking to maintain their impressive and dominant matchday one performance.
Army Ladies vs Police Ladies
Defending champions Police Ladies will travel to the Teshie Mats Park to face arch-rivals Army Ladies in an all-service derby on Saturday, as both teams battle for supremacy in what promises to be a keenly contested encounter.
