Hearts of Oak will welcome Basake Holy Stars to the University of Ghana Stadium for match-week eight of the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League, with both teams aiming to follow up victories from their previous fixtures.
Basake Holy Stars arrive in Accra after a narrow 1-0 home success against Bechem United. Bismark Teye scored the only goal of the game in the 56th minute to secure three points for Evans Adotey’s side.
That result leaves Basake Holy Stars fifth in the table on 12 points. They have won four and lost three of their opening seven league matches, making this another important test as they attempt to maintain their position among the leading sides.
Hearts of Oak also claimed a 1-0 victory last time out, beating Vision FC away from home. Kwesi Asmah scored late to give the Phobians a valuable win and provide further evidence that they are beginning to regain their form.
The hosts have collected four wins, two draws and one defeat from seven games. They will now look to extend that run by taking another positive result on home ground.
Team news
Basake Holy Stars have no major injury concerns ahead of the match and are expected to have their full squad available.
Hearts of Oak manager Nebojsa Kapor will be without midfielder Dominic Nsobila, who suffered an injury during the victory against Vision FC.
