The Premier League continues on Sunday October 5, 2025, with matchday 4 set to thrill and dazzle fans across seven venues.
Here is a complete preview of Matchday 4 of the Ghanaian top-flight.
15:00 Asante Kotoko vs Heart of Lions - Baba Yara Stadium, Kumasi
The Swedru Sports Stadium will host a crunch Premier League clash on Sunday, October 5, 2025, as Eleven Wonders take on Young Apostles in a battle of two sides seeking to find their rhythm early in the season.
After three years away from the top flight, Eleven Wonders have endured a difficult return. They opened their campaign with a goalless draw against Basake Holy Stars before suffering back-to-back defeats, including a bruising 4-1 loss to Heart of Lions, their heaviest defeat since November 2024. Their winless run now stretches to three games this season, adding to a worrying sequence of five defeats in their last seven matches across all competitions (W2).
Failure to claim maximum points on Sunday would see Wonders start a league campaign without a win in their first four matches for the first time since 2021/22, when they went eight games without victory (D3, L5). Their most recent Premier League home win dates back to June 2022 against Aduana FC, underlining their urgent need to end a three-year drought at home.
Young Apostles, meanwhile, travel to Agona Swedru with renewed confidence after a 2-1 triumph over Dreams FC last weekend, a result that ended their four-game winless run in the league (D1, L3). Under new head coach Abdul Henan, the Wenchi-based side have shown flashes of promise but remain inconsistent, particularly away from home. They have managed just one victory from their last 12 league games on the road (D2, L9), failing to score in five of their last six away trips. Their only away success this year came in February, a 2-1 win at Nations FC in Abrankese.
This fixture marks the first-ever Ghana Premier League meeting between the two clubs, adding extra intrigue to the contest. Eleven Wonders will be desperate to end their winless start and recapture some belief at home, while Young Apostles will view this as an opportunity to build momentum and end their poor away record.
15: 00 Berekum Chelsea vs Basake Holy Stars - Golden City Park, Berekum
The Nsenkyire Sports Arena will witness a compelling Premier League clash on Sunday, October 5, 2025, as FC Samartex 1996 welcome Aduana FC, with both sides eager to strengthen their early-season campaigns.
The Timber Giants, champions of the 2023/24 season, are yet to taste victory in the new campaign, drawing all three of their opening fixtures. Christopher Ennin’s side have been remarkably tight defensively, conceding just once and keeping two clean sheets, but a lack of cutting edge in attack has limited them to just a single goal. Despite this, Samartex can take confidence from their outstanding home record — nine wins, five draws, and only two defeats in their last 16 matches at the Nsenkyire Sports Arena. Even more encouraging is their flawless record against Aduana at this venue, winning all three of their previous league meetings.
Aduana FC go into the epic match with momentum after bouncing back from an opening-day defeat to Karela United with consecutive victories over Nations FC and Swedru All Blacks. Cioba Aristica’s men will now be targeting a third straight win to solidify their position near the top of the table. However, the Ogya Boys face a stern challenge on the road. While they ranked among last season’s best away performers, they also conceded the most goals on their travels (21), and worryingly, they have lost their last six away league matches. Their last win on the road came in March 2025, when they edged Nations FC 1-0 in Abrankese.
Head-to-head history heavily favors the hosts. Since Samartex’s promotion in 2022/23, Aduana have made three trips to the Nsenkyire Sports Arena and lost on every occasion — back-to-back 1-0 defeats in their first two visits, followed by a 2-1 reverse last season.
For Samartex, Sunday’s fixture is a chance to finally kick-start their season and maintain their dominance over Aduana on home turf. For Aduana, it represents an opportunity to end a torrid away run and prove their title credentials.
With both sides eyeing vital points for very different reasons, this encounter promises to be one of Matchday 4’s standout battles.
15:00 Medeama SC vs Nations FC - Tarkwa and Aboso Stadium, Tarkwa
Medeama SC will look to get their Premier League campaign back on track when they host Nations FC at the Tarkwa and Aboso Stadium on Sunday, October 5, 2025.
The 2022/23 champions began the season brightly with two straight wins but stumbled in their third outing, falling 1-0 to Karela United at the Aliu Mahama Stadium. That defeat was their fourth in their last seven league matches (W3), a sequence head coach Ibrahim Tanko will be determined to arrest. Returning to Tarkwa, however, should offer a timely lift. The Mauve and Yellow have been formidable at home, winning eight of their last nine league games, and they boast an impressive record against Nations FC at this venue.
For the visitors, Nations FC have had a mixed but steady start to the 2025/26 campaign, collecting one win, one draw, and one defeat from their opening three fixtures. While they were among the league’s best travellers last season, their recent away form has faltered, with six losses in their last nine road matches (D1, L5). Head coach Kassim Mingle will be eager to turn that record around and inspire his side to make history by claiming their first-ever away win over Medeama.
Head-to-head form strongly favors the hosts. Since Nations FC’s promotion in 2023, they have twice visited Tarkwa in the league, losing both encounters 1-0.
For Medeama, Sunday’s clash offers an opportunity to quickly bounce back and reaffirm their home dominance, while Nations FC will be chasing a breakthrough moment in what promises to be a competitive fixture in Tarkwa.
15:00 Dreams FC vs Vision FC - Tuba Astro Turf, Kasoa
Dreams FC will be desperate to end their losing streak when they face Vision FC at the Tuba Astroturf on Sunday, October 5, 2025, in a Ghana Premier League Matchday 4 clash.
The Still Believe lads have endured a nightmare start to the 2025/26 campaign under new head coach Winfred Dormon, who replaced Abdul Karim Zito. Three games in, Dreams remain winless, having scored just once and conceded three times (L3). Their most recent outing, a 2-1 defeat away to Young Apostles, was especially frustrating, as they conceded the decisive goal in the 74th minute.
Despite their struggles, returning home could provide the spark Dreams need. The Tuba Astroturf has been a fortress in recent times, with Dreams winning eight of their last eleven league matches at the venue (D2, L1). They have also been productive in attack there, netting 16 goals across nine of those games. Encouragingly, they collected four points against Vision FC in their two meetings last season (W1, D1).
Vision FC arrive in Tuba with renewed confidence after bouncing back from a heavy 4-0 defeat to Medeama SC with a 2-0 home win over newly promoted Hohoe United. That result handed them their first victory of the campaign (W1, D1, L1) and boosted morale in Nana Agyemang’s camp. Among their standout performers has been goalkeeper Kwame Aziz, a summer signing from Legon Cities, who has already kept two clean sheets in three appearances.
However, Vision’s away form remains a major stumbling block. The visitors have managed just one win in their last 15 away league matches (D4, L10) and will be determined to improve that record as they chase back-to-back league victories for only the second time in 2025.
Head-to-head history between the two sides points to another tight contest. Their only league meeting at Tuba last season ended in a 1-1 draw, suggesting Sunday’s clash could once again be closely fought.
Dreams FC will be banking on home advantage to finally kickstart their season, while Vision FC will aim to build on their recent win and break their away-day jinx.
15:00 Hohoe United vs Karela United - Hohoe Sports Stadium, Hohoe
Newly promoted Hohoe United continue their search for a maiden Premier League victory when they host the in-form Karela United at the Hohoe Sports Stadium on Sunday, October 5, 2025.
Though yet to win this season, Hohoe United have shown resilience in their debut campaign, collecting two points from their opening three fixtures (D2, L1). Survival in the top flight will be their ultimate goal, but head coach Tijani Abdul Rahim Bashiru will take encouragement from his side’s formidable home record. The Hohoe-based outfit are unbeaten in their last 16 home matches across all competitions (W15, D1), including a 1-1 draw against Young Apostles in their first-ever Premier League fixture at the venue. With that record behind them, they will be eager to make history by securing their first league victory on Sunday.
Visitors Karela United have enjoyed a bright start to the 2025/26 campaign, building on their dramatic survival last season. They have picked up two wins and a draw in their opening three matches, including impressive clean sheet victories over Aduana FC and Medeama SC. Their 1-1 draw away to FC Samartex 1996 underlined their growing resilience, as they remain unbeaten so far.
For head coach Nurudeen Amadu, this run marks a dramatic turnaround. Karela had dropped points in 11 of their last 12 away games before this season (W1, D3, L8), but now travel to Hohoe in search of a first away win of the new campaign. Their last league victory on the road came in May 2025, when they stunned defending champions Bibiani Gold Stars with a 1-0 win at Dun’s Park.
This fixture marks the first-ever top-flight meeting between Hohoe United and Karela United, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the contest.
With Hohoe’s unbeaten home record facing off against Karela’s unbeaten start to the season, Sunday’s clash promises to be a fascinating battle of determination, momentum, and ambition.
