A high-stakes relegation battle takes centre stage at the Golden City Park on Sunday, December 28, as Berekum Chelsea welcome bottom-placed Eleven Wonders in a crucial 2025/26 Ghana Premier League encounter.
With both clubs desperate for points to revive their struggling campaigns, this fixture represents a pivotal moment in the fight to avoid the drop before the turn of the year.
Match Preview
Berekum Chelsea have endured a difficult season, but their home form offers a glimmer of hope. All of Chelsea’s league victories this campaign have come at the Golden City Park, where they are unbeaten in their last four matches. That record will give the Blues confidence heading into Sunday’s clash, knowing that familiar surroundings have often brought out their best performances.
Despite inconsistencies away from home, Chelsea have shown resilience in Berekum, grinding out results through defensive discipline and timely goals. Another positive result could lift them further clear of the relegation zone and inject renewed belief into their survival bid.
For Eleven Wonders, the situation is far more precarious. Rooted to the bottom of the league table, Wonders possess the weakest attack and the most porous defence in the division. Goals have been hard to come by, while defensive lapses have repeatedly punished them, leaving the club in urgent need of a turnaround.
Sunday’s trip to Berekum offers one of their final opportunities in 2025 to restore pride and gather momentum ahead of the second half of the season. Failure to do so could deepen their relegation worries and widen the gap to safety.
With the league approaching a crucial phase, three points on Sunday could prove decisive. A Chelsea win would strengthen their position above the drop zone and reinforce the importance of their home advantage. For Eleven Wonders, victory would be a lifeline — not only lifting them off the bottom but also reigniting belief that survival is still achievable.
Given the pressure on both camps, intensity and caution are expected, with neither side able to afford costly mistakes.
Team News
Both teams head into the fixture with no reported injury or suspension issues. The availability of full squads allows the coaching staffs to field their strongest possible lineups in what is effectively a six-pointer.
Chelsea are likely to lean on their compact defensive structure and quick transitions, especially through the wide areas. Captain Prince Anane will be key in organising the backline, while the attacking trio will aim to exploit any defensive weaknesses in the Wonders setup.
Eleven Wonders, on the other hand, may adopt a pragmatic approach, focusing on solidity at the back before attempting to strike on the counter. With goals in short supply, efficiency in the final third will be critical if they are to leave Golden City Park with anything to show.
Possible Lineups
Berekum Chelsea:
Emmanuel Adu (GK); Prince Anane (C), Michael Awuah, Richard Osei Agyemang; Kennedy Mensah, Kwesi Badori, Vincent Adjei, Benjamin Abaidoo; Zidane Osman, Abubakari Seidu, Abdul Rahman.
Eleven Wonders:
Joseph Baah (GK); Desmond Acheampong, Edmund Afurapoe, Issah Ahmed; Matthew Amponsah, Frank Awere, Emmanuel Boateng (C), Mohammed Issah; Albert Frimpong, Kenneth Owusu; Daniel Lomotey Agbloe.
