Bibiani Goldstars FC will host Aduana Stars at the Duns Park on Sunday, October 20, 2024, in a highly anticipated matchday 7 fixture in the Ghana Premier League.
Both teams are looking to build on their current form, with Goldstars aiming to solidify their position at the top of the table and Aduana Stars seeking to climb from their mid-table position.
Preview
Goldstars FC have enjoyed an impressive start to the 2024/25 season. The league leaders remain unbeaten after six matches, with a strong record of 3 wins and 3 draws. They have scored six goals and conceded only three, showing a balanced and resilient team under head coach Frimpong Manso. At home, the Miners have been unbeatable, maintaining a 100% win record at the Duns Park, and will be eager to extend that streak against Aduana Stars.
Aduana FC, on the other hand, have had a slow start to the season. They recorded their first victory last weekend against Dreams FC, which ended a five-match winless run. Despite their early struggles, the Fire Club, coached by Yaw Acheampong, will be looking to build on that win and improve their standing in the league. They currently sit 13th in the table with one win, three draws, and two losses from their six games.
Head-to-Head:
Goldstars have historically had the upper hand in this fixture when playing at home. In their last three home encounters with Aduana Stars, the Miners have won twice and drawn once. Goldstars secured a 1-0 victory in the 2021/22 season, played out a goalless draw in the 2022/23 season, and claimed another 1-0 win in the 2023/24 season. This solid home record against Aduana Stars will boost their confidence heading into the game.
Team News:
Goldstars coach Frimpong Manso will rely on his strong defensive unit, led by captain Atinga, and the attacking duo of B. Kyereh and Sadat to continue their impressive home form. Goalkeeper Kobi is expected to keep his place between the posts, while Adjetey, Amankwah, and Amoaful provide stability at the back.
Aduana Stars, meanwhile, will be counting on the leadership of goalkeeper Massawudu and the defensive pairing of K. Amoako and Abubakar to contain Goldstars’ attacking threat. Obeng and Marfo will be key figures in Aduana’s attack as they seek to break down a tough Goldstars defense.
Probable Line ups:
Goldstars FC: Kobi (GK), Adjetey, Amankwah; Amoaful, Anaba, Atinga (C), A. Kumi; B. Kyereh, Dankyi, Frimpong, Sadat
Aduana Stars: Massawudu (GK), K.Amoako, Abubakar, Boakye, Sackey, Tetteh, Thomas, Hensen, Addo, Obeng, Marfo
Prediction:
With Goldstars’ formidable home record and Aduana Stars’ recent struggles, the Miners are favored to secure another narrow victory at Duns Park. Aduana will likely pose a challenge, but Goldstars’ unbeaten run and home dominance should see them come out on top.
We say; Goldstars 1-0 Aduana Stars
Kickoff time:
The match will kick off at 3:00 PM GMT on Sunday, October 20, 2024, at the Bibiani Duns Park.
