Bibiani Goldstars welcome league leaders Aduana FC to Dun’s Park on Sunday, November 30, for a crunch Matchweek 12 clash in the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League, with kick-off scheduled for 3:00pm.
The Miners head into the fixture seeking a rapid response after being put under the knife last weekend by Nations FC, a side currently coached by their former boss, Frimpong Manso as they suffered a 2-0 defeat at the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex.
Goldstars shown patchy form so far, chalking up six wins, one draw and four defeats from their opening eleven matches.
Interim manager Nana Yaw Amankwah continues to steady the Bibiani side for now, while visitors Aduana FC - led by Romanian tactician Cioaba Aristica - arrive as the most consistent side in the league so far.
Match Preview
Bibiani Goldstars enter this match placed 5th on the league log with 19 points, and despite the setback last weekend, they remain among the league’s most competitive home sides. Sunday’s match presents them with both a test and an opportunity, and also a chance to keep pace with the top four while halting the effort of the current leaders.
Aduana FC sit top of the 18-club table with 23 points, having produced a strong, balanced campaign which is defined by defensive organisation and clinical transitions. Aristica’s men have dropped points sparingly and arrive in Bibiani with confidence, knowing that another positive result could further consolidate their push for the title.
Goldstars’ energetic midfield and home crowd advantage will be crucial if they are to disrupt Aduana’s tempo. Conversely, Aduana’s wing-back-driven system and sharp combinations in their opponents 18-yard box could test the Miners’ defensive structure throughout the afternoon.
Possible Lineups
Bibiani Goldstars:
Emmanuel Kobi (GK); Emmanuel Adjei, Edward Agyemang, Gideon Anaba, Vincent Atingah (C); Phillip Ofori, Razack Sanou, Francis Twene; Emmanuel Kontor, Samuel Attah Kumi, Michael Nkoah.
Aduana FC:
Prince Osei (GK); Abubakar Adams, Remember Adomako Boateng, Alex Boakye (C); Hensen Amponsah, Maxwell Arthur, Stephen Badu, Seidu Saana;
Mezack Afriyie, Emmanuel Marfo; Daouda Sidibe.

Team News
Bibiani Goldstars
The Miners are expected to maintain the bulk of the squad that featured last weekend, with no major injury concerns reported from camp. Coach Nana Yaw Amankwah may consider slight tactical adjustments after the loss to Nations FC, particularly in midfield control and defensive transitions. Captain Vincent Atingah is set to continue anchoring the backline, while Samuel Attah Kumi should lead the attack once again.
Aduana FC
Aduana FC travel to Bibiani with a largely fit squad. Romanian coach Cioaba Aristica is unlikely to tinker much with a team that has shown strong chemistry this season. Playmaker Emmanuel Marfo and forward Daouda Sidibe who are both in encouraging form are expected to start, while captain Alex Boakye marshals a three-man defence that has been difficult to dismantle.
Prediction
We say: Bibiani Goldstars 1–1 Aduana FC
Goldstars’ home form and urgency to bounce back should see them compete aggressively, but Aduana’s consistency makes them difficult to beat. Bibiani Goldstars striker Samuel Attah Kumi to finish off a low cross after a period of sustained pressure.
On the other hand, Aduana FC forward Daouda Sidibe to equalise from a well-worked transition move initiated by Marfo.
Where is the game being played? The match takes place at Dun’s Park, the home of Nations FC.
What time is kick-off? The game kicks off at 15:00 GMT, Sunday, November 30, 2025
