Upcoming Matches in the Ghana Premier League

In-form Hearts of Oak are looking to secure consecutive wins as they aim to extend their unbeaten streak. Meanwhile, second-placed Medeama SC are set to host Premier League returnees Swedru All Blacks in a highly anticipated clash in Tarkwa. Karela United seeks to return to winning form at home, while Nations FC hopes to reverse their early-season struggles. Additionally, FC Samartex 1996 and Young Apostles will strive to maintain their strong starts to the season as they aim to establish themselves among the league leaders.

Hearts of Oak vs Gold Stars

Accra Hearts of Oak will strive for back-to-back league victories for the first time this season when they face defending champions Bibiani Gold Stars FC at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, October 26, 2025.

The Phobians approach Matchday 7 with a confident mindset following a significant 2-0 away victory against Berekum Chelsea last week, marking their third win of the season and solidifying their status as serious contenders in the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League under coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani.

Holding third place in the league standings with 12 points from six matches, Hearts have not conceded a single goal thus far. Their attack has been modest with only four goals scored, yet their staunch defensive performance has proven effective in thwarting opponents.

Hearts boast the league’s longest unbeaten streak, with an astonishing 13 games without a loss (8 wins, 5 draws), which extends to 17 matches across all competitions (11 wins, 6 draws). During this streak, they have conceded merely three goals, highlighting their strong defensive capabilities.

At home, however, scoring has been a challenge; they have netted just once in three games at the Accra Sports Stadium (1 win, 2 draws). The team hopes to enhance this record in front of their supporters as they aim to preserve their unbeaten run. Their last defeat in the Premier League dates back to April 2025 against Aduana FC, when they lost 2-0 away.

On the other hand, Bibiani Gold Stars FC are also off to a solid start this season. They secured a hard-fought 1-0 win against Berekum Chelsea in their delayed Matchday Three fixture, bringing their points tally to 12, putting them level with Hearts after four wins and two losses in six outings.

Gold Stars have both scored and conceded seven goals this season, making them one of the more entertaining teams in the league. However, their away performances have raised concerns; they have suffered consecutive defeats away to Vision FC and Asante Kotoko, losing three of their last four matches on the road in all competitions. They have also failed to score in their last two away encounters since their narrow 1-0 win over Swedru on Matchday Four. The defending champions will be eager to break this two-match winless streak on the road against Hearts.

Head-to-Head

Since the 2021/22 season, Hearts of Oak and Bibiani Gold Stars have faced each other four times at this venue, with both teams winning two matches each. Hearts triumphed in the 2021/22 and 2022/23 seasons, while Gold Stars managed narrow 1-0 wins in both the 2023/24 and 2024/25 campaigns.

Medeama SC vs Swedru All Blacks

A tough challenge lies ahead for Premier League returnees Swedru All Blacks as they make their way to Tarkwa and Aboso Stadium on Sunday to face second-placed Medeama SC, who are eager to strengthen their title race with another strong home performance.

Medeama SC achieved a thrilling 1-1 draw against FC Samartex 1996 last weekend, thanks to a last-minute equalizer that showcased their resilience. Under the leadership of coach Ibrahim Tanko, they have had a strong start to the 2025/26 season, amassing 13 points from six matches (4 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss).

Their impressive run has been bolstered by a potent offense, which leads the league with 11 goals scored, while their defense has been robust, allowing only four goals. Medeama’s home record continues to make Tarkwa and Aboso Stadium a challenging venue for opponents, remaining unbeaten in their last four home games this season (3 wins, 1 draw) and tallying 11 victories out of their last 13 home matches across all competitions (1 draw, 1 loss).

Swedru All Blacks are traveling to Tarkwa with hopes of rectifying their inconsistent start in the Premier League, currently sitting 12th in the standings with six points after six matches (2 wins, 4 losses). Their primary issue has been their away form, having lost all three of their away games so far, conceding two goals in each, including a disappointing 2-0 loss to fellow promoted team Hohoe United on Matchday Five.

Head-to-Head Record

This encounter marks the first-ever competitive meeting between Medeama SC and Swedru All Blacks in the Ghana Premier League.

Karela United vs Bechem United

Karela United aims to bounce back to winning ways as they host Bechem United at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium on Sunday.

After a strong opening to the 2025/26 season, Karela’s form has dipped recently. The Tamale-based squad started with an unbeaten run in their first three league matches (2 wins, 1 draw) but has since failed to secure a victory in their last three matches (2 draws, 1 loss), drawing 1-1 away against Eleven Wonders last Monday.

Head coach Nurudeen Amadu will be eager for his team to rediscover their early-season sharpness and attacking flair to move up the standings. Currently, Karela sits 8th with nine points from six matches, resulting from five goals scored and six conceded.

Bechem United travels to Tamale with renewed hope after securing their first victory of the season—a convincing 2-0 win over Vision FC at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park last Sunday. This result provided some relief for head coach Stephen Desmond-Issah Botchway after a challenging start (2 draws and 3 losses).

Head-to-Head Record

Karela United has had the upper hand in recent contests, having lost only once in the last five home encounters with Bechem United in the Premier League since the 2020/21 season (3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss), which makes the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium a daunting venue for visitors.

FC Samartex 1996 vs Hohoe United

FC Samartex 1996 looks to prolong their strong unbeaten streak in the Premier League as they welcome newly promoted Hohoe United to the Nsenkyire Sports Arena on Sunday.

Samartex has had a commendable start to the 2025/26 season, securing two victories and four draws in their first six matches, thanks to their solid defensive structure that has seen them concede just three goals so far. Remarkably, the timber club has not allowed more than one goal in any of their past 12 matches across all competitions (6 wins, 4 draws, 2 losses).

As a home side, FC Samartex has been formidable, ranking as the fifth-best home team in the league. They have achieved back-to-back victories at their home ground, overcoming Aduana FC and Eleven Wonders, in addition to one draw in three home games.

Conversely, Hohoe United aims to recover after a disappointing 2-0 home loss to Aduana FC last weekend, a defeat that spoiled their chance for a third straight victory in their inaugural Premier League season. Prior to this setback, the newly promoted side had impressed with commanding wins over Karela United (4-1) and Swedru All Blacks (2-0), showcasing their offensive capabilities.

Currently, Hohoe United, led by Tijani Abdul Rahim Bashiru, sits 10th in the league standings with eight points from six matches, having netted seven goals—the second-highest tally in the league this season—but their defensive weaknesses have seen them concede six goals.

Head-to-Head

This match marks the first-ever Premier League encounter between FC Samartex 1996 and Hohoe United at the Nsenkyire Sports Arena, following the latter’s promotion this season.

Nations FC vs Eleven Wonders

Nations FC will look to revitalize their campaign as they take on the winless Eleven Wonders at the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex on Sunday.

The Abrankese-based team has had a sluggish start to the 2025/26 season, collecting only five points from their first six matches (1 win, 2 draws, 3 losses). They find themselves in the lower half of the table, having scored a mere three goals while conceding six, which sharply contrasts their impressive performance at the same stage last season when they sat fifth with an unbeaten record.

Head coach Kassim Mingle Ocansey is eager to turn things around as Nations FC searches for just their second league win of the season. Their recent form has been poor, with only one victory in their last ten outings across competitions (2 draws, 7 losses).

Nations FC remains unbeaten at home this season, boasting one win and two draws from three home games while scoring twice and conceding only once.

Meanwhile, Eleven Wonders are still grappling with early-season difficulties, heading into Matchday 7 still in search of their first win (2 draws, 4 losses), leaving them in the relegation zone.

Head-to-Head Record

This match signifies the first-ever competitive clash between Nations FC and Eleven Wonders in the Premier League.

Young Apostles vs Berekum Chelsea

Young Apostles aim to maintain their excellent form when they host a struggling Berekum Chelsea at the Wenchi Sports Stadium on Sunday, October 26, 2025, in a regional derby with differing aspirations for both teams.

After a rocky start to their second season in the Premier League, Apostles have caught fire lately. They began the season with a home loss to Medeama SC and a draw against Hohoe United, but have since secured three consecutive league victories.

Young Apostles have now competed in five league matches, achieving three wins, one draw, and one loss, scoring six goals and allowing four.

On the flip side, Berekum Chelsea has won only once in their first six matches (1 win, 1 draw, 4 losses), accumulating four points and finding themselves in the relegation zone. Their vulnerabilities have been evident, having conceded a league-high eight goals while finding the target only three times.

The previous week’s home defeat to Hearts of Oak (0-2) at the Golden City Park marked their sixth consecutive home game without scoring against the Phobians (3 draws, 3 losses). Furthermore, they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Bibiani Gold Stars in their outstanding Matchweek 4 game, further dampening their confidence.

Head coach Samuel Boadu is under increasing pressure as his team struggles to perform on the road. Chelsea is winless in their last three Premier League away matches (1 draw, 2 losses) and has claimed victory just once in their last six league travels (1 win, 1 draw, 4 losses). The team must significantly improve if they wish to break their winless streak and regain some pride in this regional contest.

Head-to-Head

Only once have these sides met at the Wenchi Sports Stadium since Young Apostles gained promotion to the top flight in 2024, with the hosts winning that match 2-1.
