Aduana Stars and Berekum Chelsea are up against each other in week twenty-three of the ongoing Ghana Premier League 2020-2021 season. 



The duo former Ghana Premier League winners have so far not lived up to their level best in the league recording some inconsistent performance, results, which have not aided their push for a top-six finish not to talk for fighting for the league title against other top sides in the league. 

The Ogya boys are 10th on the log with 30 points, last week; they lost by painfully to another struggling side, Eleven Wonders at the Ohene Ameyaw Park of which they have to make amends now that they play Berekum Chelsea. 

The absence of inspirational leader, Yahaya Mohammed, who netted seven goals (7) will be greatly felt meaning, Bright Adjei, Benjamin Tweneboah, Bioh Samuel will have to combined efforts to bring back the smiles on the faces of the home faithful under the tutelage of Asare Bediako. 

For Berekum Chelsea, to say their season has been worse will be an understatement but I’m sure the managerial changes, player exodus, absence of fans to cheer them on coupled with other factors might be contributory factors to their woeful season. 

The Biribies have since picked only two points on the road, a feat needing ratification starting with the match against the Fire boys if they want to add up to their 27 points they have amassed in the league. 

In the last five years, Aduana Stars have won six out of the 15 games the pair has played with Berekum Chelsea winning the other four and the other ending in pulsating draws. 

Prediction: Aduana Stars 3-0 Berekum Chelsea

Asante Kotoko are enjoying a new lease of form under new coach Mariano Barreto, who took over the reins of the job from Gazelle – Johnson, the duo didn’t perform badly at the helm of affairs.



The record holders of the Ghana Premier League will beam with loads of confidence, as they host a Berekum Chelsea side, which seems to be slowly picking up the pace at the Obuasi Ley Clay Stadium over the weekend.

Per stats gathered so far, Berekum Chelsea are not good travelers, having managed to take a paltry two points from as many as eight games playing away from home in the league.

The last time these two sides met in the first round, it took former Kotoko lad, Emmanuel Clottey’s last gap free-kick to level things up for the Biribies.

With the form of Kotoko in the second round, it will take a spirited performance from Seth Hoffman and his charges to win or even pick a point in this weekend’s clash.

Prediction: Asante Kotoko 2-0 Berekum Chelsea

The Club Licensing Board of the Ghana Football Association, have revoked the licenses of three Ghana Premier League clubs in the country.



This decision was borne out of an inspection conducted by club licensing board on various league clubs in the country.

The affected clubs are Liberty Professionals, Berekum Chelsea, and Elmina Sharks, who use the Carl Reindorf Park, Golden City park, and Ndoum Sports Stadium respectively for their home duels.

The aforementioned clubs will have to resort to other venues they deem appropriate for the upcoming home fixtures in the ongoing league.

However, three clubs namely Dreams FC, Eleven Wonders, King Faisal, and Bechem United would have to heed to the recommendations of the board before the resumption of the second round or face further sanctions.

The Golden City park will witness one of the weekend’s tough clashes between Berekum Chelsea and Accra Hearts of Oak in a hugely anticipated match where fans will troop into the stadium to watch cheer their beloved clubs on to victory.



The duo clubs are former Ghana premier league winners as such annexing the league to add to their trophy cabinet is certainly on the agenda.

The Berekum based club are in serious crisis sitting 15th on the log with 9 points, which culminated in the sacking of Michael Hesse Odamtten and the immediate hiring of Seth Hoffman as head coach of the side who needs to turn the fortunes of the club positively in the next few weeks or face the boot like his predecessor.

For the away side the appointment of Kosta Papic the last manager to win them the league a decade ago has certainly refreshed the lifeless rainbow club who seems to have nicked points aplenty in the last few matches.

They have been able to garner 15 points to boast them up to 4th on the log, in their last four away matches, they have picked a point each from a possible 16.

The likes of Victor Aidoo, Kwame Obeng Junior, and Umar Manaf have combined effortlessly to score 10 goals out of the 16 team has scored in nine games.

There’s is a lot of history between these two heavyweights of the Ghana Premier League, in the past five years, they have both won four of the last eight fixtures which should be an interesting spectacle to relish this weekend.

Prediction: Berekum Chelsea 2-1 Hearts of Oak.

Karela United and Berekum Chelsea will contest each other for the three maximum points at the infamous CAM park at Nzema-Aiyinase in week nine of the ongoing Ghana Premier League. 



The home side the only side in the ongoing league to have won all of their four home games an enviable record in the league heading into the ninth fixture.

The away side have not found life in the league on an easy turf as they anticipated, picking nine points from as many games, coupled with the sacking of Michael Odamtten Hesse and the imminent arrival of Seth Hoffman if everything goes according to plan which will see him take over his first game.

After eight games in the league, the Biribies are placed on eight with 10 points, a stat they will be looking to improve against a side that is hard to beat on their home terrain having won all their four duels in the past.

Diawusie Taylor is a man on form, scoring from all cylinders, netting six in eight games, a stat that should be off serious concern to the away side who have conceded eight goals in eight games heading into the ninth fixture in the league.

Coach Evans Adotey and his entourage are coming into this exciting clash as favorites amongst the two and should everything sway in their favor they should come out as tops.

Berekum Chelsea are on the verge of appointing Seth Hoffman as their new boss following the sacking of Michael Hesse Odamtten from the role last week.

Hesse Odamtten was sacked following a string of bad results that left the Berekum based club gasping for points in the ongoing Ghana Premier League.

Per information gathered by Saharafootball.net, the former Hearts of Oak and Great Olympics boss will be the new man in the dugout for the former Ghana Premier League champions.

Berekum Chelsea will travel away to Karela United in a bid to aid their premier league standings.

Ghana Premier League club, Berekum Chelsea have relieved Michael Hesse Odamtten off his position as head coach of the side after just eight (8) round of fixtures in the ongoing Ghana Premier League.



This development comes on the back of the club recording unimpressive results in the league, as things stand, the club have picked six points from a possible twenty-four.

Hesse Odamtten took over this campaign from Asare Bediako, who was elevated to the position of the technical director but had to leave to Accra Hearts of Oak for an assistant position role.

In eight round of games, the norm of hiring and firing of coaches have seen lots of casualties like Maxwell Konadu, Tonny Lokko, Goran, Edward Nii Odoom and Hesse Odamtten as the latest coach to be shown the exit door.

In a related development, Wilfred Domon has been replaced by Vladislav Vivic by Dreams FC.

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.

Berekum Chelsea made sure they continued their impressive streak over Dansoman based Liberty Professionals in week four of the ongoing Ghana Premier League.

Both sides were looking to record their first victory of the season amid draws and losses but the home side made sure their superiority counted in the early exchanges of the game when they threatened the vital areas of the opposing outfit.

Their hard work finally off when veteran striker, Emmanuel Clottey scored what eventually proved the match-winner from close range in stoppage time of the first half.

The second half saw Liberty Professionals return with a different approach in a bid to equalize and get all three points but their efforts were all nullified by the home side’s resilience and attitude.

David Ocloo head coach of the traveling side has come under incessant pressure from fans amidst three draws and a loss in four games of the league, something the top hierarchy haven’t been particularly pleased about.

The Biribes have moved up to 6th with 5 points whiles Liberty drops to 12th on the log with 3 points.
