Bechem United will be aiming to return to winning ways when they welcome Premier League debutants Basake Holy Stars to the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park on Sunday, May 25, 2025, in what promises to be a crucial clash for both sides.
The Hunters head into this encounter on the back of a narrow 2-1 defeat to reigning champions FC Samartex 1996, marking their sixth loss in their last nine league outings (W2, D1). That poor run of form has dealt a heavy blow to their top-four ambitions, as they now trail seventh-placed Medeama SC by four points, an increasingly difficult gap to bridge with just a few games remaining.
Despite the slump, Bechem United have amassed 43 points from 31 matches and remain among the joint-fourth highest-scoring sides in the league with 30 goals. They have also been relatively solid at the back, conceding 26 goals. A recent home win against bottom-placed Legon Cities ended a run of two successive defeats at Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park and could provide a much-needed morale boost. Ranked as the fifth-best home team in the league, Ernest Danso’s side will be eager to claim their 12th home victory of the campaign on Sunday.
Holy Stars currently sit 12th on the table with 37 points after a mixed run of two wins, one draw and two losses in their last five matches. They’ve scored 30 goals and conceded 34 in the process.
This match marks the first-ever Premier League meeting between the two sides at Bechem since Basake Holy Stars’ promotion to the top flight.
