Basake Holy Stars will welcome Dreams FC to the Crosby Awuah Memorial Park in Anyinase for their matchday 2 fixture of the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League on Sunday, September 15, 2024.
Holy Stars made an impressive debut in the top flight, stunning 21-time champions Hearts of Oak with a 1-0 victory at the Accra Sports Stadium last Sunday.
A second-minute header from Prince Tweneboah was enough to seal a crucial win for the league newcomers, sending a clear message to their rivals.
This will be the first-ever meeting between the two teams, as Holy Stars are competing in the Premier League for the first time.
Match Preview:
Basake Holy Stars have proven to be a formidable side at home, boasting an impressive record of 12 wins, 2 draws, and only 1 loss on their way to qualifying for the elite division last season. They will be eager to continue that strong form as they face a determined Dreams FC.
Dreams FC, meanwhile, are still hunting for their first win of the season. The “Still Believe” lads were held to a goalless draw by defending champions FC Samartex 1996 in their opening match last Saturday at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Under the experienced guidance of head coach Abdul Karim Zito, Dreams FC will be looking to turn things around and secure their first victory of the campaign.
