Basake Holy Stars welcome Bechem United to the AAK II Sports Arena in Anyinase on Sunday in a Matchday 7 fixture of the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League, with both sides eager to strengthen their positions in the standings.
The hosts will be looking to bounce back after suffering a 2-0 defeat to Bibiani Gold Stars in their last outing. Holy Stars have enjoyed a solid start to life in the top flight, collecting nine points from six matches to sit ninth on the table.
Their success this season has largely been built on an impressive home record. Holy Stars have won all three of their league victories at the AAK II Sports Arena, with each triumph coming by a narrow 1-0 scoreline.
Bechem United head into the contest in seventh place with 10 points following an entertaining 4-2 victory over Vision FC. The Hunters will be eager to build on that performance, but they face the challenge of improving a poor away record, having failed to win on the road this season.
The visitors also have history to overcome, with Holy Stars winning both previous league meetings between the two sides in Anyinase.
Team News
Basake Holy Stars are expected to retain the core of the side that has impressed at home this season despite their defeat to Gold Stars.
Bechem United are likely to stick with the team that produced an excellent attacking display against Vision FC as they chase their first away victory of the campaign.
