Berekum Chelsea will look to improve after their goalless draw away at Hearts of Oak when they host Young Apostles on Sunday (March 1) in Week 22 of the Ghana Premier League season.
The Bibires drew 0-0 with Hearts of Oak in their last game. In their previous seven league matches, they have won three, drawn three and lost one. Overall, Berekum Chelsea have seven wins, six draws and 10 defeats after 23 matches.
Young Apostles, also known as ‘Agya Na Ɔwɔ Tumi’, have recorded six wins, eight draws and nine defeats from 23 league games this season.
Match Preview
This is an important match for both teams near the bottom of the table.
Berekum Chelsea are 15th on the 18-team league table with 27 points after 23 matches. Just below them are Young Apostles in 16th place with 26 points. Only one point separates the two sides before this game.
Both teams are just above the relegation zone, so this match could be very important in the fight to stay up. A win for Chelsea would give them some breathing space, while a win for Young Apostles would move them above their Bibires.
Berekum Chelsea have been hard to beat recently, especially at home. Young Apostles have been inconsistent but can still pick up 'not way too bad' results in close games.
