Medeama SC are set to host a confident Dreams FC side at the Tarkwa and Aboso Stadium on Friday night in a Ghana Premier League matchup that could prove crucial to both teams’ ambitions this season.
The Yellow and Mauves have slipped to 7th on the league table after suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat to Hearts of Oak in their last outing. Although they’ve managed just one win in their last four matches, Medeama remain one of the league’s more potent attacking teams, with 27 goals scored and 23 conceded so far.
Their home form offers encouragement, as they currently rank fifth in the league’s home performance standings. With the backing of their fans, Medeama will be determined to get back on track.
Dreams FC, on the other hand, head to Tarkwa riding a wave of momentum. Coach Abdul Karim Zito’s men are on a five-game winning streak, during which they’ve recorded four clean sheets. Their recent run includes impressive away victories against Hearts of Oak and Heart of Lions, boosting their morale ahead of Friday’s clash.
Sitting 8th on the table with 36 points, Dreams FC have scored and conceded 17 goals each. They also boast the sixth-best away record this season, making them a formidable opponent on the road.
Historically, matches between the two sides in Tarkwa have been closely contested. Since the 2020/21 season, Medeama have had a slight edge with two wins, one draw, and one loss. They claimed a 2-0 victory in 2020/21, lost 0-1 in 2021/22, bounced back with a 3-2 win in 2022/23, and drew 0-0 last season.
As both clubs aim to climb the table, Friday’s encounter under the floodlights in Tarkwa is shaping up to be a tightly fought battle with plenty at stake.
