Port City FC will be aiming to continue their impressive debut season in the Ghana Premier League when they welcome Basake Holy Stars to the Nana Boamah Darko II Park on Matchday 10.
The newly promoted side have exceeded expectations in their maiden top-flight campaign and currently occupy fifth place with 15 points from nine matches. Their impressive performances have put them firmly in contention for the league’s top positions.
A key factor behind Port City’s strong start has been their excellent home form. The Kukurantumi-based club remain unbeaten in four league matches at the Nana Boamah Darko II Park, recording two wins and two draws while establishing themselves as one of the division’s toughest teams to beat on home soil.
They will be eager to build on that momentum and keep their unbeaten home record intact against a Basake Holy Stars side struggling for consistency.
The visitors head into the fixture after a disappointing 1-0 defeat at home to Dreams FC, a result that saw them slip to 10th place on the table with 12 points.
Goals have been difficult to come by for the Anyinase-based club, who have managed just five goals in nine league matches this season. Their problems have been even more evident away from home, where they have lost all four of their matches, scoring only once while conceding eight goals.
Basake Holy Stars will therefore need a significant improvement if they are to claim their first away points of the campaign against one of the league’s surprise packages.
With Port City determined to strengthen their push towards the top four and Basake Holy Stars desperate to end their poor away run, the encounter promises to be a fiercely contested battle with valuable points at stake.
