Basake Holy Stars will host Bechem United at the AAK II Sports Arena in Anyinase on Sunday, with both teams looking to improve their position in the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League.
Holy Stars enter the Matchday 7 meeting in ninth place with nine points from six matches. They will be seeking a response after losing 2-0 to Bibiani Gold Stars in their previous fixture.
Their strongest form has come at home. All three of Basake Holy Stars’ league victories this season have been secured at the AAK II Sports Arena, and each ended with a 1-0 scoreline. That record has made Anyinase a difficult venue for visiting sides.
Bechem United sit seventh, one place and one point above their opponents, after collecting 10 points from their opening six games. The Hunters responded to a closely contested match with Vision FC by recording a 4-2 victory.
That result produced an attacking performance the visitors will want to repeat, although their away form remains a concern. Bechem United have yet to win on the road this season and will be attempting to claim their first away victory in this fixture.
Previous meetings in Anyinase also favour the hosts. Basake Holy Stars have won both league matches played between the sides at the venue.
Team news and line-ups
Basake Holy Stars are expected to keep the core of the team that has delivered three home wins, despite the recent defeat by Bibiani Gold Stars.
Eric Ofori Antwi is expected to start in goal, with Abdul Razak, Emmanuel Boakye, Samuel Owusu and Isaac Mensah forming the defensive line.
Richard Boadu, Augustine Boakye and Kwame Asante are set to operate in midfield, while Emmanuel Tetteh, Prince Opoku Agyemang and Abdul Karim are expected to lead the attack.
Bechem United are also likely to retain the side that scored four times against Vision FC as they continue their search for an away success.
Daniel Agyei is expected to start behind Moro Ibrahim, Augustine Okrah, Abdul Bashiru and Hafiz Konkoni. Yaw Annor, Emmanuel Avornyo and Salifu Ibrahim are likely to feature in midfield, with Clinton Duodu, Stephen Owusu and Prince Tweneboah completing the expected line-up.
The match will be played at the AAK II Sports Arena in Anyinase on Sunday, October 18, 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00 GMT.
Basake Holy Stars’ unbeaten home-winning pattern gives them an advantage, but Bechem United’s attacking display in their last match could earn them a share of the points.
Prediction: Basake Holy Stars 1-1 Bechem United
