Premier League: Champions Gold Stars set for busy week as they host Heart of Lions and Berekum Chelsea at Dun’s Park

Defending champions Bibiani Gold Stars FC are gearing up for a crucial week in the Premier League as they prepare to host Heart of Lions on Monday, October 20, before welcoming Berekum Chelsea in an outstanding fixture on Thursday, October 23, 2025, both at Dun’s Park.

The Miners, who have had a mixed start to the 2025/26 campaign, will be looking to use their home advantage to reignite their title defense. Having collected six points from four matches (W2, L2), Yaw Amankwah's men currently sit 12th on the league table, scoring three goals and conceding six. However, with a game in hand against Chelsea, the champions have a chance to climb swiftly up the standings.

A perfect return of back-to-back victories in their upcoming fixtures could see Gold Stars catapult themselves into the top four.

Gold Stars will first turn their attention to high-flying Heart of Lions, who head to Bibiani unbeaten this season. The match will be a stern test for the Miners’ defense, which has struggled in recent weeks, conceding 12 goals in their last five outings across all competitions. Nevertheless, their home record remains impressive, unbeaten in their last three league games at Dun’s Park (W2, D1), and they’ll be banking on that form to turn things around.

Following the Monday encounter, Gold Stars will quickly shift focus to their outstanding clash with Berekum Chelsea. The visitors are currently enduring a difficult start to the season under Samuel Boadu, sitting in the relegation zone with just four points from five matches. Chelsea have scored three and conceded eight, and their recent 2-0 home defeat to Hearts of Oak has piled further pressure on the side.

The Blues will need to deliver something special if they are to avoid another setback in Bibiani, where Gold Stars have built a fortress-like reputation. The defending champions, meanwhile, will see this as a golden opportunity to rack up vital points and restore confidence after a shaky spell.
