Aiming to extend their unbeaten streak in the ongoing season, Bibiani Goldstars are making a long trip to the Bono Region to battle it out with Premier League new campaigners Young Apostles at the Wenchi Sports Stadium.
Young Apostles are returning to their favorite home venue after away woes in their debut top-flight league campaign was deepened by Legon Cities with a 2-0 defeat.
Match Preview
Young Apostles FC are looking forward to avoiding another painful home loss after losing 2-1 to Hearts of Oak in the week six fixture.

Coach Asare Bediako is currently under pressure following the club's uninspiring performances in the Premier League, and he has been tasked with securing the three maximum points against Bibiani Goldstars.
