1. Bibiani Gold Stars’ winless run is a huge concern
Bibiani Gold Stars’ winless run is a huge concern at Dun’s Park as they sit in the relegation zone. With just two GPL wins all season, it is quite not surprising that Bibiani Gold Stars occupy the 16th position on the table. Micheal Osei has stepped aside as Godwin Ablordey is still in charge of the team. Rumours are everywhere in the media that former Hearts of Oak manager Samuel Boadu is on the verge of joining Bibiani Gold Stars. In a tough fixture against the second-placed Nsoatreman, Bibiani Gold Stars must start picking up points as their 8-winless run calls for concern.
2. Bismark Kobi Mensah has turned things around
Bechem United has gone 9 games unbeaten including an 8-0 thrashing of Debibi United in Round 64 of the MTN FA Cup. After a poor start to the season, Bechem United have revived themselves and are not firing from all angles due to Bismark Kobi Kyei’s masterclass. Bechem United sits 6th on the league table with just 4 points separating them and the league leaders. With Augustine Okrah and Emmanuel Avornyo leading the attack, Bechem United are a newly transformed team under Bismark Kobi Mensah.
3. Dr Kwame Kyei Sports Complex hosts Bofoakwa v Samartex
Boafoakwa Tano is playing Samartex at the Dr Kwame Kyei Sports Complex due to the ban from the GFA. Bofoakwa Tano fans beat Maxwell Konadu to a pulp after the 0-0 draw at Sunyani Coronation Park in Round 11. This indecent act was widely condemned by stakeholders of Ghana sports as it subsequently led to a ban for Tano Bofoakwa. The Sunyani-based club has won just one game in their last 8 games and playing their home games away from Sunyani Coronation Park will affect them immensely.
4. Nations FC is the surprise package of the season so far
Kasim Ocansey Mingle deserves huge credit for Nations FC’s fantastic performance of the season. Nations FC are 5th on the table with 17 points after winning their last 3 league games including their first away win of the season against Bibiani Gold Stars. Five wins from 12 games is something special for Nations FC. With a trip to Accra Lions over the weekend, Nations FC faces a huge test against a team that shocked Aduana last week.
5. Prosper Nateh Ogum faces a huge test against Berekum Chelsea
Berekum Chelsea has punched above their weight as they have won 13 points out of the last 15. They stretched Hearts of Oak to the limits by drawing 1-1 in Accra. With Stephen Amankona in fantastic form, Berekum Chelsea can harm Asante Kotoko. Prosper Nateh Ogum’s lads have won their last three games including an impressive 4-2 win over Nations FC in the Round 64 of the MTN FA Cup. Surprisingly, it’s just 5 points that separate Asante Kotoko and the number-one position on the league table. Prosper Ogum faces a huge test in Berekum Chelsea.
