League leaders Gold Stars FC will aim to tighten their grip at the summit of the Premier League when they welcome Medeama SC to the Dun’s Park on Sunday in a highly anticipated matchday 28 fixture.
The Miners returned to the top of the table with a commanding 2-0 away victory over Bechem United last Wednesday, reaffirming their title credentials. With 50 points from 27 matches, Gold Stars FC have combined defensive solidity and consistent performances to climb above their rivals. They’ve scored 27 goals and conceded just 16—the second joint fewest in the league.
Crucially, Gold Stars remain the only unbeaten home side this season, boasting an imposing record of 10 wins and three draws from 13 matches. They head into the encounter as the league’s best home performers and will be eager to extend that unbeaten run and preserve their fortress at Dun’s Park.
Medeama are the league’s most prolific side with 31 goals scored, although they’ve also conceded 24 times. Under the guidance of Ibrahim Tanko, Medeama will be looking to produce a strong performance and close the gap on the top four.
The Mauve and Yellow have found it difficult to get results at Dun’s Park in recent years. Since the 2021/22 season, they’ve faced Gold Stars FC three times away in the league, failing to register a single victory. The Miners edged a 1-0 win in the 2021/22 campaign, settled for a 1-1 draw in 2022/23, and secured a convincing 2-0 victory last season.
