GPL Preview: Wonders seek reset as Holy Stars open second-round campaign in Accra

Published: 6 months ago
Ghana Premier League

The Premier League second round gets underway on Friday, January 9, 2026, with struggling Eleven Wonders welcoming Basake Holy Stars FC to the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.

Rooted to the bottom of the table, Eleven Wonders are desperate for a turning point after a narrow 3–2 defeat to champions Bibiani Gold Stars extended their losing streak to five matches.

The result left the league returnees on just six points from 17 games, 13 points shy of safety. Their problems have largely stemmed from the back, having conceded a league-high 28 goals while managing only 12 at the other end.

Home form has offered little relief, with just one win from nine matches in Accra so far this season.

Basake Holy Stars arrive in the capital aiming to respond after a 2–0 loss to Dreams FC ended a six-game unbeaten run under Johnson Smith.

Despite that setback, the Aiyinase-based side closed the first round outside the relegation places in 14th position with 20 points.

Goals have been a challenge for Holy Stars, who have scored 15 and conceded 20 in 17 outings.

Their away record remains a concern, with no victories on the road and only three goals scored in nine matches, making Friday’s encounter a chance for both sides to reset their campaigns.
