Berekum Chelsea will be aiming to halt a poor run of form when they host the in-form Heart of Lions in a Ghana Premier League clash at Golden City Park on Sunday.
The Blues have hit a rough patch, having suffered consecutive defeats to Basake Holy Stars and Asante Kotoko. Without a win in their last four games, Chelsea now find themselves in 10th place on the league table with 32 points from 25 matches.
Heart of Lions, meanwhile, arrive in Berekum with momentum on their side. They battled to a 1-1 draw against Asante Kotoko in their previous outing and are currently sitting 4th with 41 points. Over their last 20 matches, the Lions have shown impressive consistency, winning 10 and losing just six.
In recent head-to-head encounters, Heart of Lions have had the edge. Since December 2023, the two sides have met three times, with Lions claiming two victories and the third ending in a draw. Their most recent meeting on November 10, 2024, saw the Lions triumph 1-0. Over those three games, Chelsea have managed just two goals, while Lions have scored five.
Statistically, Chelsea’s campaign has included eight wins, eight draws, and nine losses, with 24 goals scored and 23 conceded. Heart of Lions have registered 11 wins, eight draws, and six defeats, scoring 26 times and letting in just 17.
With Berekum Chelsea in urgent need of a turnaround and Heart of Lions eager to strengthen their push for a top-three finish, Sunday’s encounter is shaping up to be a fiercely contested battle.
