Hohoe United lock horns with Bibiani Goldstars on Sunday, December 21, in a Matchweek 15 fixture of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League campaign at the Hohoe Sports Stadium, with both sides eager to bounce back from defeats suffered last weekend.
The White-Red-and-Blue side come into the encounter determined to steady the ship after going under the knife in Berekum, a result that momentarily slowed progress in Tijani Abdul Rahim Bashiru’s camp. The HUFC have since returned to the drawing board as they seek consistency during a demanding run of fixtures.
Bibiani Goldstars, meanwhile, make the journey east nursing wounds of their own, having succumbed to a 2-0 defeat away to FC Samartex at the Nsenkyire Sports Arena. Despite that loss, Nana Yaw Amankwah’s Miners remain one of the league’s most reliable sides, boasting seven wins, one draw and five defeats from their opening 14 matches.
Match Preview
Hohoe United currently sit 11th on the 18-club league table with 17 points, a return shaped by four wins, five draws and five defeats. While their overall form has been patchy, their energy at home has been a major positive, often enabling them to frustrate more fancied opponents.
Bashiru’s side have shown that, on their day, they can trouble teams in the top half, and Sunday’s fixture against the Miners represents another chance to make a statement in front of their supporters.
Bibiani Goldstars occupy fifth place with 21 points after 14 matches and remain within touching distance of the title-chasing pack. Amankwah’s men will be keen to respond quickly after last weekend’s disappointment, knowing that dropped points could see rivals close the gap behind them.
With both sides desperate for a reaction, this fixture promises to be a competitive and finely balanced affair.

Hohoe United are expected to welcome back a settled squad, with no major injury concerns reported ahead of Sunday’s clash. Captain Safian Usman is set to marshal the defence once again, while midfielders Daniel Osei and Ati Sena will be tasked with keeping the side competitive. Bashiru may stick with his trusted three-man defensive setup as he looks to maximise home advantage.

Bibiani Goldstars are also believed to have most of their key players available. Skipper Vincent Atingah is expected to anchor the backline, while the attacking burden will likely fall on Bernard Kesse and Razack Sanou. Coach Nana Yaw Amankwah could retain his familiar 4-3-3 system as the Miners look to impose themselves early.
Possible Lineups
Hohoe United:
Kwaku Musah (GK); Safian Usman (C), Solomon Adomako, John Alossodey; Prince Amevor, Ebenezer Armegah, Daniel Osei, Ati Sena; Kekeli Attor, Paul Kwame; Ganiu Abass.
Bibiani Goldstars:
Emmanuel Kobi (GK); Edward Agyemang, Gideon Anaba, Vincent Atingah (C), Phillip Ofori; Richard Kotey Amon, Agyenim Boateng, Emmanuel Kyei; Razack Sanou, Bernard Kesse, Samuel Attah Kumi.
We Say: Hohoe United 1–1 Bibiani Goldstars
This game could be decided by small moments, with Hohoe United’s home toughness likely to cancel out Bibiani Goldstars’ superior league position. The hosts may strike first through Ganiu Abass after sustained pressure, before Bernard Kesse responds for the Miners, capitalising on a lapse at the back.
A share of the spoils appears the most likely outcome, leaving both sides with work to do as the season progresses.
Where is the game being played?
The match takes place at Hohoe Sports Stadium, the home of Hohoe United.
What time is kick-off?
The game kicks off at 15:00 on Sunday, December 21, 2025.
