FC Samartex will look to return to winning ways when they host Bibiani Goldstars in a Matchweek 9 fixture of the Ghana Premier League at the Nsenkyire Sports Arena on Sunday.
The Timber Giants were held to a goalless draw by Berekum Chelsea last Sunday, but have made a strong start to the campaign. Nana Kweku Agyemang’s team have won four, drawn three and lost one of their opening eight matches, leaving them fourth in the 18-team table on 15 points.
Bibiani Goldstars arrive in Samreboi in 12th place with 10 points from eight games. The Miners will be seeking a positive away result as they attempt to improve their position under Greek coach Petros Koukouras.
Match preview
FC Samartex have been among the more consistent sides in the league this season and will be hoping to turn their home advantage into another three points. Their record of four wins, three draws and one defeat has placed them within reach of the leading sides.
Agyemang will want his players to be more decisive in front of goal after their stalemate against Berekum Chelsea. Christian Agyenim Boateng and Eden Kofi Asamoah are expected to lead the home side’s attacking threat, while Joshua Fuseini and Samed Kyei could have influential roles in midfield.
Goldstars will look to Evans Adomako and Kwame Opoku to create problems for the FC Samartex defence. Koukouras will hope his side can deliver a strong performance and move closer to the top half of the table.
The hosts’ stronger form and home advantage make them favourites, although Bibiani Goldstars are expected to provide a competitive test.
