Bibiani GoldStars head into the weekend determined to put last Sunday’s disappointing 2–0 defeat to Basake Holy Stars behind them.
The champions have now suffered three league losses, despite boasting one of the division’s most potent attacks with ten goals scored.
Their defensive struggles, however, continue to haunt them, having conceded eleven times, the joint-second highest tally so far.
Back in Dun’s Park, Gold Stars will feel confident, as they have won all four home matches this season while allowing only two goals.
The Miners know another victory in front of their supporters would re-energise their campaign.
Karela United arrive on the back of a 1–1 draw with Dreams FC, their fourth stalemate of the season.
Their season has been unpredictable, with just thirteen points earned and persistent issues at the back mirroring Gold Stars’ defensive concerns.
Their away record adds another layer of difficulty, as they have failed to win any of their four trips this season and have only one away victory in their last fifteen league outings.
However, history favours the hosts, who have won three of their four league meetings since 2020.
