Bibiani Goldstars will be welcoming the ‘Biribes’ to the Dun's Park on the resumption of the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League season after a one-month break for the recently ended Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
With the two teams ending the first round with defeats, Bibiani Goldstars are eager to secure all the three maximum points against Chelsea as they sit above the drop zone. Bibiani Goldstars could slip to the relegation zone should they fail to record a positive result in this fixture.
Berekum Chelsea are in a difficult moment for the past days following the shocking decision from their head coach Christopher Ennin, who tendered his resignation to leave the club. Ennin has reportedly reached an agreement to join Hearts of Oak.
Coach Frimpong Manso, who travelled from Bibiani to Nsoatre to monitor Chelsea when that played Nsoatreman FC in the FA Cup round of 64, will be looking forward to overturn the 2-0 defeat to Berekum Chelsea in the first round and record a convincing win over the one-time Ghana Premier League champions.

A 91st minute strike from Prince Anane aided Berekum Chelsea to pick their first-ever victory over Goldstars at the Dun's Park in Bibiani last season.
The only victory for Bibiani Goldstars against Chelsea was during their debut campaign in the Ghana Premier League when they clinched all the maximum points courtesy a lone strike from Kingsford Boafo.
