Basake Holy Stars will be looking to rebound from recent disappointing results as they host high-flying Medeama SC at the Crosby Awuah Memorial Stadium this Sunday.
Holy Stars made an impressive start to the Ghana Premier League with a surprising 1-0 victory over Hearts of Oak on opening day. However, they have since struggled to maintain that momentum, resulting in a goalless draw against Dreams FC and a defeat to Bibiani Gold Stars.
Currently sitting in 8th position with just four points, they are eager to secure their first home win of the season in this challenging encounter.
In stark contrast, Medeama has been in blistering form, sitting atop the table with a perfect record after two matches. Head coach Nebojsa Kapor expressed confidence in the team’s momentum, describing it as a “perfect moment” for his side as they look to extend their winning streak.
This matchup will mark the first-ever league meeting between the two teams, adding an extra layer of excitement to the contest. Historically, both sides have displayed a tendency for low-scoring matches.
Basake Holy Stars are averaging just 0.33 goals per game and have seen under 2.5 goals in their last three fixtures, while Medeama’s previous 19 games have also featured tightly contested, low-scoring affairs.
With Medeama aiming to maintain their strong start and Basake Holy Stars hoping to get back on track, this match promises to be an intense battle.
