In the last five games that Medeama SC have played, they have picked 10 points from a possible 15 points which has seen them cede their position in the top four to the 5th position.



This weekend, they face off with former champions, AshGold, who have picked a paltry 7 points in their last five games as well as 9 points from their away duels in the ongoing Ghana Premier League. 

For Yaw Preko and his ably quality setup, this game is a make or break for them, having lost two consecutive matches, a home loss to WAFA SC, and an away loss to Aduana SC at the Nana Agyemang Badu Park has awakened the demon in them.

Trio returnees Prince Opoku Agyemang, Ahmed Toure, Zakaria Mumuni have combined efforts to score 14 goals in their last few games, though the absence of Justice Blay has been felt in the midfield zone, the likes Rashid Nortey, Richard Boadu, Kwasi Donsu are expected to up their game this weekend. 

The Aboakaese lads are 9th on the log with 34 points; Yaw Annor, David Sandan Abagna, and Appiah McCarthy have scored 19 out of the club’s 37 goals in the ongoing league of which they will be looking to go a position better.

The duo has drawn four times from 11 duels with the others ending in draws. 

Predictions: Medeama SC 2 – 1 AshGold

AshantiGold SC haven’t particularly fared well in the ongoing Ghana Premier League amidst the fanfare of player signings, coaching circus and other issues that have plagued the club in the last few months seems to have taken a toll on their overall performances in the league.



The Aboakese side has since picked 15 points at home from 8 matches, something they will look to build on when they face a resurgent might oak tree, which have enjoyed a new lease of life under new manager, Samuel Boadu.

David Abagna Sandan and Yaw Annor have combined efforts to score eleven goals between them in 18 matches; they will be at their lethal best when they play at home to Hearts of Oak.

Hearts are on a six-game undefeated streak (four wins and two draws) with their last loss dating back to February, 4, 2021.

This run of form has spurred them up to 4^th on the log, the signings of Ibrahim Salifu, Caleb Amankwah and the striking force led by Victor Aidoo(6),K.Obeng Junior(4), Isaac Mensah will inure to the good of Samuel Boadu.

This match promises to be an interesting fixture between two former Ghana Premier League winners, who will look to get one over each other at the Obuasi Ley Clay Sports Stadium.

Predictions: AshGold 1-1 Hearts of Oak

AshantiGold SC are at home to two-time Ghana Premier League Champions Aduana Stars at the Obuasi Ley Clay in matchday 15 clash of the ongoing league in what promises to be a clash of the heavyweights.



Both teams will be looking to record wins for themselves to boost their position on the league log, as they were unable to notch wins in their prior away games, the home side drew blank at the Sogakope Red Bull Arena whiles Aduana Stars were butchered into pieces by Dreams F.C at the Theatre of Dreams, Dawu.

The Miners have picked eight points from a possible 15 at home in five games but their inability to pick a win in their last six duels will be a worrying trend for Thomas Duah who steps into the shoes of the frail Milovan Cirkovic needing remedy to lift them from their current 10th position on the log.

Aduana Stars recently lost their head coach, Paa Kwesi Fabian following their inability to resolve a contract impasse, as well as his demands for the team to be properly augmented to fight for places in the league.

Yaw Annor has netted five goals but will miss the partnership he has formed with Appiah McCarthy (3), who is currently nursing an injury, and Hans Kwofie (5), who has since departed to join riche nouveau Legon Cities in Accra.

The Fire Boys have picked six points on the road this season an away fixture to Obuasi will certainly be a difficult one on the cards for them in the face of their current problems.

Both sides have played ten games, the home side have won four, the away side with three, and the others ending in a stalemate.



Prediction: Ashantigold 2-1 Aduana Stars

The post GPL Match Preview and Prediction: Ashantigold vs Aduana Stars first appeared on Sahara Football.

The Sogakope Red Bull Arena will see WAFA play host to AshantiGold, who are keenly eyeing to win the league for the first time in so many years.

The home-based setup have not fared particularly well on the road this season, their only win came against Eleven Wonders at the Ohene Ameyaw Park.

Having lost to Dreams and Aduana Stars, former player of the side Samuel Tetteh, who played with the side some two seasons alluded their poor run of results on the road to bad pitches across the various league centres and bad officiating.

The absence of three first-team players Daniel Lomotey, Daniel Owusu Forson Amankwah to foreign clubs will certainly disrupt the rhythm, tactics, and selection of Prosper Narteh but hopefully, he has the resources at his disposal to choose from heading into a tricky fixture against the Aboakese side.

Ashgold lost their home fixture to Liberty Professionals by 1-0 at home and that should spur them on to get better results as they travel to Sogakope.

The likes of Appiah McCarthy, Hans Kwoffie, and others may have to bring their Agame to bare if they are to get anything out of this tight contest.

Predictin: WAFA 4-0 AshGold

The post GPL Match Preview and Prediction: WAFA vs Ashantigold first appeared on Sahara Football.

Ashanti Gold will welcome Kumasi Asante Kotoko in a fearful Regional clash in the Ghana premier league matchday 11 at the Lan Clay Stadium at Obuasi.

The Miners who suffered a 5-2 humiliating defeat in the hands of relegated threatening team Legon Cites will gear up against Kotoko who also painfully suffered 1-0 defeat to 2017 league champions Aduana Stars.

Yaw Annor will look to continue with his fine form after bagging a brace in defeat against Legon Cities. Ashantigold will be looking to bounce back from the defeat when they host Asante Kotoko on Sunday.

Johnson Smith suffered his first Ghana Premier League defeat since he took over from Maxwell Konadu. Asante Kotoko will also be looking to put the past behind them when they travel to face Ashantigold in Obuasi.

Asante Kotoko will play without the services of Patrick Asmah and Habib Mohammed, both players were injured against Aduana and won’t make the trip to Obuasi.

Ashantigold will face Kotoko without the services of Appiah McCarthy who is out injured for several weeks.

The “Miners” are currently 3rd on the league table whiles the ” Porcupine worries ” are also 5th on the league table.

Legon Cities produced a five-star performance smashing  Ashgold 5-2 to dent their title ambitions when the pair clashed at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday night.



Both sides were in search of the 3 points to complement their status in the league, the away side started the brighter of the two when Yaw Annor got into a scoring position in the 7th minute to shot his side ahead not later than four minutes Nasiru Moro equalized for his side but Yaw Annor will get his and club’s second in the 32nd minute only to be pegged back on the stroke of half time by Jonas Attuquaye.

The second half saw both sides resume hostilities but the home side will assume the authority of the game through Baba Mahama(50th) as well as a further brace from Daniel Cudjoe (55th, 62nd) minute to deepened the woes of title ambition side Ashgold, who were looking to win their second match at the Accra Sports Stadium.

This results will see Legon Cities up to 15th with 9 points whiles Ashgold takes up the 3rd position pending other games over the weekend.

Legon Cities defied a spirited WAFA side when the pair clashed in week eight of the ongoing Ghana Premier League to pick up their very first victory of the season through an expertly converted Joseph Adjei penalty on Friday night at the Accra Sports Stadium.



Tarkwa based Medeama SC ensured their home dominance counted when they pulled clear off rivals Aduana Stars by 2-1 at the Akoon Park on Saturday in the ongoing Ghana Premier League.

Two former Ghana Premier League champions AshGold and Berekum Chelsea have been pitted against each other in week seven of the ongoing domestic league.



In over many decades, the two glamorous clubs have played twenty-two times, the away side have by far been victorious of the two, winning nine, the home side five and the remaining ending in stalemates.

This will be a welcome opportunity for the duo to stake a claim to all three points up for grabs, Aboakese are up to 3rd on the log, having picked 7 points at home, whiles Biribies have been dismal in their away outings picking only a point in as many games.

The home side are one of the best attacking proficient sides in the league, managing to score ten goals in three games is not an easy feat, the likes of Hans Kwofie(3), Yaw Annor (2) have fired goals from all cylinders to aid their side in the league, if there’s any respite for Coach Odametten, it’s the fact that the home side have conceded in all of their six previous outings something Emmanuel Clottey (2) , Daniel Boadu(2) can capitalize on heading into this super clash of week seven.

This fixture promises to be a cliffhanger at the Obuasi Ley Clay Stadium, if fans were present, this match will certainly live up to its billing, hopefully, the pair will provide all the fan and excitement needed to make this duel a success.

Prediction: AshGold 2-2 Berekum Chelsea

Bechem United handed free-scoring, AshGold a raw deal when the pair met to honor their outstanding league four fixture on Sunday at the Nana Fosu Gyabour park.

Both teams were coming into this match, as one of the two teams yet to lose a match in the ongoing Ghana Premier League, as well as a top half clash.

The Hunter began the early exchanges of the game on the front foot, putting a plethora of chances to waste, hopefully, it didn’t come to hunt them, as the away side failed to get their mojo on track to score any of the chances they created in the entire throttle of the game.

For a side that had scored 10 goals in three matches prior to this duel, it was expected that once they got behind a Steven Owusu goal, they would get their acts together, crawl their way back into the game and possibly hunt for a winner but that wasn’t so.

This loss marks Aboakese’s first loss of the season, settling for a 5th spot on the log (W2D3L1), meanwhile, for the home side, this will mean their second week on the log after they beat Karela United a week ago to leapfrog them to the summit of the table.

Ghana Premier League outfit, Bechem United, will try to maintain their top spot for a further week, as they brace themselves for a top half clash against free-scoring, AshGold, in an outstanding fixture of the ongoing Ghana Premier League at the Nana Fosu Gyabour park.



The home side have enjoyed a positive start to life, under current head coach, Kwame “Klopp” Danso, who has built a formidable unit with the current crop of players at this disposal.

The Hunters have amassed a total of 11 points this season with six of it at home helping them to the summit of the table after six rounds of games in the league, whiles the away AshGold have also picked two points away out of a possible six,as things stand at the moment.

AshGold are a team in ascendancy, one of few sides with an effective goal attacking threat, scoring ten in three games against the likes of Elmina Sharks, King Faisal, and Eleven Wonders.

If there’s any respite for the home side, it’s the fact that the Aboakese side have conceded in all of their last three duels.

Bechem have won five of fourteen clashes with the away side grabbing three others ending in a draw.

This match promises to be a match of equal halves considering how both sides have strongly warmed themselves up for the league this season.
