Hohoe United will look to make home advantage count when they host defending champions Bibiani GoldStars at the Hohoe Sports Stadium on Sunday, as the Ghana Premier League rolls into Matchday 15.
The debutants come into the fixture eager to respond after a slim loss to Berekum Chelsea last time out — a result that slowed what had been a brief upturn in their campaign.
Before that setback, Hohoe had caught the eye with back-to-back wins over Bechem United and Asante Kotoko, results that hinted at their ability to compete at the top level. However, consistency has remained a major issue.
Those two victories are the only wins Hohoe have recorded in their last eight league outings, leaving them just three points clear of the relegation zone and under pressure to start picking up points, especially at home.
Sunday’s clash presents an opportunity, as GoldStars have found life on the road extremely difficult this season.
The Bibiani-based side have blown hot and cold so far, winning three and losing three of their last six league matches. Their away form, in particular, has been a concern, with the champions managing only one point from their last six away fixtures.
With Hohoe desperate to create breathing space above the drop zone, and GoldStars struggling away from home, Sunday’s encounter promises to be a tense battle with vital points at stake.
