Basake Holy Stars FC will aim to make their home advantage count when they welcome Berekum Chelsea FC to the AAK II Sports Arena in a key Ghana Premier League clash.
Match Preview
The home side have been strong on their own turf this season, earning 20 of their 23 points at home, and will look to recover from a heavy defeat last weekend. Basake’s attacking and defensive structure at the AAK II Sports Arena has been their hallmark, and they will need a confident performance to secure three points.
Berekum Chelsea, meanwhile, arrive buoyed by a shock 1-0 win over Bibiani Gold Stars in their last outing. However, the West Brong Ahafo side continue to struggle on the road and will face a tough test against a Basake side determined to protect their home record.
