Karela United resume their Ghana Premier League campaign this Saturday, December 14, 2024, when they host league leaders Bibiani Gold Stars at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium.
Currently sitting in 14th place with just 12 points, Karela United find themselves in a precarious position, only one point above the relegation zone. The Pride and Passion will be desperate to secure a positive result to ease their survival worries.
Jimmy Corbblah’s side managed a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Dreams FC in their last league outing, but that win marked their sole success in their previous five matches. Corbblah acknowledges the immense challenge his team faces against a formidable Gold Stars outfit, emphasizing the need for a near-flawless performance to cause an upset.
Meanwhile, Gold Stars arrive with the aim of solidifying their position at the top of the table. The Miners lead the standings with 23 points, a slim one-point advantage over second-placed Nations FC. Frimpong Manso’s men reclaimed the top spot after their rivals faltered and will be keen to build on their momentum.
Manso, however, remains cautious, understanding the unpredictability of the league. “We must stay focused and avoid complacency,” he warned, highlighting Karela’s potential to make life difficult for visitors.
With both teams refreshed following the break, the game could hinge on which side shows greater hunger and execution on the day.
