Premier League: Nations FC face ultimate test against rampaging leaders Medeama on Friday
An inconsistent Nations FC will be eager to rediscover their winning touch when they welcome Premier League leaders Medeama SC to the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex on Friday, January 30, 2026, in a fascinating matchday 21 showdown.
Under pressure to steady a stuttering campaign, Frimpong Manso’s Nations FC sit 12th on the league table and have managed just one win in their last five matches (D2, L2). Their recent run includes a 2-0 away defeat to FC Samartex 1996, leaving them on 24 points after 20 matches, with 15 goals scored and 18 conceded.
Despite their struggles on the road, Nations FC have turned Abrankese into a fortress this season. They remain unbeaten in all ten home league fixtures, recording six wins and four draws while conceding just five goals. That formidable home form offers genuine optimism ahead of Friday’s clash, particularly against a Medeama side they have never lost to at home in the Premier League since 2023.
Ibrahim Tanko’s side boast 43 points from 20 matches, having scored a league-high 30 goals while conceding just 12. They head into the fixture in red-hot form, riding a four-match winning streak, the longest active run in the league. Away from home, Medeama have been equally impressive, ranking as the second-best travellers with four wins and four draws from nine matches and remaining unbeaten in their last seven away outings (W3, D4).
Friday’s encounter presents Medeama with the opportunity to secure their first league win in Abrankese since 2023, but they face a stern test against a Nations FC side determined to protect their proud home record.
Head-t0-Head
Nations FC are unbeaten in their two Premier League meetings with Medeama SC at the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex since 2023, recording one win and one draw, setting the stage for a compelling battle between resilience and title-chasing momentum.
