The Premier League enters a decisive phase as the title race tightens at the top while the battle for survival grows increasingly intense at the bottom.
Hearts of Oak vs Berekum Chelsea
Hearts of Oak head into Sunday’s clash full of confidence after edging rivals Asante Kotoko 1-0 in the Super Clash. The Phobians sit second with 39 points, five behind leaders Medeama SC, and remain unbeaten in their last five league matches (W3, D2), keeping clean sheets in all five. Despite their strong defensive record — conceding just seven goals all season — their home form has been inconsistent. However, they boast a dominant recent home record against Berekum Chelsea, winning four of the last five meetings.
Berekum Chelsea, 15th on the table with 26 points, remain dangerously close to the relegation zone. Although they secured a morale-boosting win over Heart of Lions, their away form is a major concern, with no victories on the road this season (D3, L8).
Heart of Lions vs Bibiani Gold Stars
Heart of Lions, currently eighth with 30 points, will look to rebound from their recent defeat to Berekum Chelsea. They have been formidable at home, winning seven of ten matches and conceding just three goals.
Defending champions Bibiani Gold Stars climbed to third with 39 points after a convincing 3-0 victory last weekend. Though inconsistent away recently, they remain one of the league’s strongest travelling sides and are unbeaten in their last two visits to Kpando.
Aduana FC vs Hohoe United
Fourth-placed Aduana FC (37 points) are aiming to return to winning ways after back-to-back winless matches. With one of the league’s best defensive records (13 goals conceded), they remain strong at home.
Hohoe United, in the relegation zone with 23 points, ended an eight-game winless run last weekend but continue to struggle away from home, with just one road victory all season.
Karela United vs Eleven Wonders
Karela United have surged into top-four contention following consecutive wins and currently sit seventh with 31 points. They have been dominant at home, winning seven of ten matches at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium.
Eleven Wonders remain rooted to the bottom with just nine points. They possess the league’s worst defensive record and have yet to win away this season, making Sunday’s encounter a daunting task.
FC Samartex 1996 vs Medeama SC
Sixth-placed FC Samartex (35 points) will rely on their impressive home record as they host league leaders Medeama SC. Samartex boast the second-best defensive record in the league and remain unbeaten at home this season.
Medeama SC top the table with 44 points and the league’s highest scoring tally (32 goals). Despite a slight dip in form, they remain one of the strongest away sides and will be eager to extend their lead at the summit.
Basake Holy Stars vs Swedru All Blacks
Basake Holy Stars have slipped into the relegation zone but remain formidable at home, where they are currently on a six-game winning streak.
Swedru All Blacks climbed to 10th following a crucial win last weekend. However, their away form remains inconsistent ahead of their first-ever league visit to the Ampian AAK II Sports Arena
Young Apostles vs Asante Kotoko
Young Apostles sit just above the relegation zone on goal difference but are unbeaten in nine straight home matches. They will hope to extend that run against Asante Kotoko at home on Sunday.
Kotoko, fifth with 35 points, are reeling from consecutive defeats but remain one of the league’s top scorers. They will be desperate to bounce back and stay within touching distance of the top four.
Nations FC vs Dreams FC
Nations FC have slipped to 12th but remain unbeaten at home this season, turning the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex into a fortress.
Dreams FC, just a point behind, are still searching for their first away win of the campaign. However, recent away draws provide some optimism heading into this encounter.
