Young Apostles will be eager to return to winning ways when they host Berekum Chelsea at the Wenchi Sports Stadium on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, in matchweek 26 of the Ghana Premier League.
Match Preview
The Premier League debutants have endured a difficult run in recent weeks, picking up just three points from a possible 15 in their last five games (D3, L2). They currently sit 13th on the league table with 30 points, scoring 16 goals and conceding 24 across the season.
However, despite their struggles on the road, Young Apostles have built a strong home record. The Wenchi-based side is unbeaten in their last six home league matches—keeping clean sheets in all of them—and will be looking to maintain that defensive solidity as they host Berekum Chelsea for the first time since their promotion to the top flight.
Berekum Chelsea, meanwhile, ended a two-match losing streak with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Heart of Lions in their previous fixture. The Blues, managed by Samuel Boadu, are currently 10th on the log with 35 points, having scored 25 goals and conceded 23.
Despite their mid-table position, Chelsea have struggled away from home this season, managing only one win in 12 away games (W1, D3, L8). With just six points collected on the road, they rank among the league’s poorest traveling sides and will be under pressure to improve when they visit Wenchi.
This fixture will mark the first-ever Premier League meeting between the two sides at the Wenchi Sports Stadium, adding extra intrigue to the midweek encounter.
