The Premier League enters Matchday Three on Sunday, September 20, 2026, with several intriguing fixtures across the country as Hearts of Oak and FC Samartex 1996 look to maintain their perfect starts, while a number of teams chase their first victories of the campaign.
Hearts of Oak vs Bechem United FC
Hearts of Oak will look to make it three wins from three when they host Bechem United at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.
The Phobians have made their best start to a league season in six years, following a 4-0 win over Berekum Chelsea with a 2-1 comeback victory against Bibiani Goldstars. They are also unbeaten in their last five home league matches, winning three and keeping four clean sheets.
Bechem United opened with a 1-0 win over Goldstars but fell to a 3-1 defeat against Karela United last weekend. The Hunters have also struggled away from home, going winless in their last three league outings on the road. They have managed just one win in their last six league visits to Hearts of Oak.
FC Samartex vs Asante Kotoko
FC Samartex 1996 will put their 100 percent start to the season on the line when they welcome Asante Kotoko to the Nsenkyire Sports Arena.
The Timber Giants have won both of their opening matches, including a 1-0 away victory over Aduana FC, and are enjoying a four-match winning run at home. They will be aiming to maintain that momentum against a Kotoko side that also began the campaign positively.
The Porcupine Warriors recorded a 2-1 home victory over Heart of Lions last weekend and are unbeaten in their last three matches across all competitions. However, their recent away league record has been less impressive, with just one win from their last ten outings.
Port City bs Berekum Chelsea
Newly promoted Port City FC will continue their search for a maiden Premier League victory when they host Berekum Chelsea at the Nana Boamah Darko II Park.
Port City opened their debut campaign with a 1-1 draw against FC Ashantigold 04 before their Matchday Two fixture against Medeama was postponed. They will hope their strong home record from the Division One League can translate to the top flight.
Berekum Chelsea, meanwhile, responded to their opening-day 4-0 defeat to Hearts of Oak with an impressive 3-1 win over Dreams FC. The result extended their remarkable run to six wins from their last seven Premier League matches.
Aduana vs Karela United
Aduana FC will seek their first win of the season when they host Karela United at the Nana Agyemang Badu I Park.
The Fire Club have taken just one point from their opening two matches and have won only once in their last seven league outings. Their latest home defeat to Samartex also ended an eight-match unbeaten home run.
Karela United bounced back from a 3-1 defeat to Samartex with a 3-1 victory over Bechem United. However, the Tamale-based side have gone six away league matches without a win and will face an Aduana side that has historically enjoyed the upper hand in this fixture at home.
Debibi United vs Young Apostles
Debibi United will continue their search for a first Premier League victory when they host Young Apostles at the Debibi Presby Park.
The newcomers began with a commendable 2-2 draw against Asante Kotoko but suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Swedru All Blacks last weekend. They will hope home advantage can provide the platform for their first top-flight victory.
Young Apostles recovered from a 3-0 opening-day defeat to Vision FC with a 1-0 win over Basake Holy Stars. However, their away record remains a concern, having lost their last five league matches on the road.
Dreams FC vs Bibiani Gold Stars
Dreams FC will be seeking a response when they welcome struggling Bibiani Goldstars to the Tuba Astro Turf.
The Still Believe lads suffered a 3-1 defeat to Berekum Chelsea on Matchday Two but return home boasting an impressive record, having won their last five home league matches. They have also dominated Goldstars in recent home meetings, winning their last five encounters.
Goldstars, meanwhile, have lost their opening two matches and face a difficult task against a Dreams side that has traditionally been strong at home. The Miners have also lost their last six away league matches.
Basake Holy Stars vs FC Ashantigold
Basake Holy Stars will aim to return to winning ways when they host unbeaten FC Ashantigold 04 at the Ampain AAK II Sports Arena.
The Anyinase side opened the season with a win but suffered a narrow defeat to Young Apostles last weekend. Their impressive home record offers encouragement, with eight wins from their last ten league matches at home.
Ashantigold, meanwhile, have made an encouraging start to their maiden Premier League campaign. After drawing their opener, the Obuase-based side produced a statement 3-1 victory over Vision FC to remain unbeaten after two matches. They will now face their first Premier League trip to Anyinase as they look to continue their positive start.
