Medeama SC will aim to reignite their Ghana Premier League campaign when they welcome top-flight newcomers Young Apostles to the Tarkwa and Aboso Stadium on Saturday, April 26, 2025, in a pivotal matchday 29 fixture.
Match Preview
The former Premier League champions have endured a dip in form in recent weeks, most recently suffering a 1-0 defeat to current table-toppers Gold Stars FC in Bibiani — their third away loss in five outings. That result left Ibrahim Tanko’s side with 41 points from 28 matches and sitting mid-table, a far cry from their ambitions to break into the top four.
However, back at their fortress in Tarkwa, Medeama remain a formidable force. The Mauve and Yellow boast the sixth-best home record in the league, having won nine of their 13 matches at the Aboso Stadium. They are currently riding a five-game home winning streak and have scored 31 goals so far — the second-highest in the league — while conceding 25.
Saturday’s encounter presents an opportunity for Medeama to return to winning ways and keep their hopes of a strong finish alive.
Their opponents, Young Apostles, are still navigating the challenges of their debut Premier League season. The Wenchi-based outfit sit 13th on the log with 34 points, just five above the relegation zone. Scoring has been a major concern for Abdul Bashiru’s side, with only 19 goals registered — the third-lowest tally in the league. They’ve also conceded 26, and their poor away record has been a key factor in their struggles.
In 13 away games, the Apostles have won just twice, drawing three and losing eight. They’ve also managed only one win in their last five away fixtures, further underlining their vulnerability on the road.
This will be the first-ever Premier League meeting between Medeama and Young Apostles in Tarkwa, adding extra intrigue to the encounter. While the Apostles will be desperate to pull further clear of the drop zone, Medeama will see this as a must-win game to restore momentum and reassert their dominance at home.
